We're excited to announce the next phase of this popular curriculum: online courses! The online courses were developed to be simple, easy to use, and work on all types of computers and mobile devices.

The courses promote safe working conditions by providing information, tools, and resources to recognize potential hazards and minimize risks. Case studies from the various crafts are included, making the curriculum relevant across the IATSE workforce.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE?

The Safety First! courses will be available in two formats:

• Workers: Individual workers can take the online courses in whichever order they'd like and start or stop at any point and pick up where they left off on any computer or mobile device.

• Locals: Local trainers approved to use the TTF Safety First! Curriculum can access the Learning Management System (LMS) to teach in a group setting using audio narration. Trainers can facilitate the interactive group course by muting the narration if they wish or pausing to discuss their own subject matter experiences. This is the same material as the Safety First! books reformatted as interactive, online courses.

The sixteen modules currently available will be gradually rolled out as online courses and include Basic Entertainment Safety; Biological Hazards; Hazard Communication; Chemical Protection; Electrical Safety; Fall Protection and Prevention; Elevated Platforms and Aerial Lifts; Scaffold Safety; Ergonomics; Noise Exposure; Confined Spaces/Small Spaces; Firearm Safety; Hand and Power Tools; Compressed Gas; Rigging Safety; and Welding and Cutting.

HOW AND WHEN CAN WE APPLY?

Apply today! We expect to launch the first three courses in the coming weeks (Basic Entertainment Safety, Ergonomics, and Rigging), and new courses will be automatically added to your account as they become available.
