Local Unions
OSHA 10 training can help IATSE workers increase their job hazard awareness. If your local doesn’t have an OSHA Outreach Trainer, consider our Develop a Local OSHA Trainer program or search the Trainer Database to find a nearby trainer.
Through the Borrow Our OSHA Trainer program, we can send our OSHA Outreach Trainer to your local union to teach an OSHA 10-Hour General Industry with Focus on the Entertainment Industry class or an OSHA 10-Hour Construction with Focus on the Entertainment Industry class.
Locals can also use the TTF Safety First! © Curriculum to teach 20 different courses through our Instructor Led Training (ILT) website. In this version of the curriculum, instructors can select which portions they want to teach themselves or which portions they want narrated.
Employers
Successful safety and health programs can identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness. Workplace hazards can be discovered and mitigated through challenges, contests, and competitions established by employers. Use OSHA’s interactive Hazard Identification Training Tool to help you.
Here are a few other ideas:
Review and update training on how to recognize hazards
Encourage workers to participate in the health and safety program
Request an on-site consultation
You don’t have to create training from scratch. You can use OSHA’s training materials for both classroom and on-the-job training.
