OSHA 10 General Entertainment Safety (GES)

Get ready to join us for the Next OSHA 10 General Entertainment Safety in Portland February 22-23 2020 and Seattle February 29 & March 1, 2020. IATSE Local 488 We have asked that all 488 members attend these trainings by December 2021. I know some are waiting until closer to the deadline. However we won't be able to get everyone thru the class if we have the majority of folks wait until 2021. This course serves an overview of essential safety protocols and procedures for our industry, in our shops, offices and on set. It’s a baseline of critical knowledge for entry level crew members as well as seasoned Craftspeople. All Members who haven't had this course should sign up today!
