Fact Sheet

The IATSE TTF Fact Sheet is a snapshot of the key programs available to local unions and IATSE workers.


Guide to Developing Training Programs

Continuous training and skills development is essential to maintaining the highest levels of expertise demanded of craftspersons working in the entertainment and exhibition industries. Establishing a training program and enlisting the help of local trainers can reduce your training costs while increasing training opportunities for IATSE workers. We encourage you to use this guide as a resource to evaluate and address your local's training needs.


What is the Difference Between OSHA 10 and OSHA 30?

OSHA courses provide essential information on the prevention of workplace hazards, but it can be confusing knowing whether your local union workers should take an OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 and if the crafts represented by your local are considered General Industry or Construction.

We break down the differences and answer your most asked questions in this infographic and poster. Download a PDF or fill out the form to request we ship a full size (18”x24”) poster to your local union.


Emergency Action Plan

We strongly encourage local unions to develop Emergency Action Plans (EAP) for every training session, meeting, or event to keep people safe. The EAP describes what actions need to be taken to ensure the safety of those attending in the event of an emergency. The EAP includes floor plans or maps which clearly indicate the escape routes for the venue, the exits, remain-in-place locations, and fire extinguishers. Many venues already have their own EAP, so you may not need to develop your own. It will only take a few minutes to present your EAP to the training participants before it gets started.

ETCP Test Taking Tips

The ETCP Council recognizes that for most individuals who qualify to take any of the certification tests it has been many years since that person has taken a written test.

Take a look at the tips they provide for dealing with test anxiety and for better test taking.
