I'm a high school student planning to attend college for tech (most likely a sound or rigging based field, however I do have ties in lighting). E Aadhar Card Software Download. Since I do work in local theatres from time to time, I figured it would be helpful to get my OSHA10 for Entertainment Safety.

I found website which seems reliable and legitimate. However, I am not sure if I need to be part of a local IATSE Chapter.

I would 'apply' to be under the local chapter, however I am not sure that one still exists. I live in Bangor, Maine, where there are barely any entertainment opportunity programs. The closest is Local 114, however their website does not seem up to date. Do I need to be part of an IATSE chapter in order to apply for the online OSHA10 General Entertainment?

The site you linked to is specifically for IATSE members and their OSHA10 course is an in-person class. Their online training is not synonymous with OSHA10. Also, OSHA does not recognize a special form of their OSHA10/30 programs as being for the entertainment industry. That's an IATSE adaptation of an OSHA10 for General Industry course that they teach which OSHA allows them to tailor to the entertainment industry. In the eyes of OSHA though, an OSHA10 for General Industry is the same whether you get it through IATSE or any other training provider online or local. As a high school student, you're not likely to be in a situation though where you need the OSHA certification for employment or insurance.

If you want it for your personal growth, I would plan a trip to USITT while you're in college or the next time it's in your neck of the country and take the course in-person. The OSHA10 is familiarization with basic safety practices and a slip of paper that says you're a little less likely to stick your fingers in an electrical socket than the next guy. The content's good to know but the actual cert itself is just not likely to have any impact on your ability to get work. Any employers who require it will provide that training to you.

If you're really itching to get a certification now, there are plenty of websites that offer the OSHA 10 for General Industry online for ~$75. It'll cover ladder safety, slips trips and fall hazards, basic electrical safety, different kinds of PPE, and other basic workplace health/safety issues. Really nothing you'll pick up from one of these courses is anything you couldn't learn from YouTube or OSHA's many downloadable PDF guides or if you pick up a study guide like this one: • • • •. For the purposes of getting a certification just to have a certification, no.

You should familiarize yourself with basic safety practices though through any available free online resource. Ladders, electricity, and slips trips and falls are quite possibly the most important general workplace safety topics to go over. If you're not already familiar with the safe operation of motorized and non-motorized rigging, I would also look into those topics. Generally at the high school and college level though, anyone who wants you to operate their rigging for load-in or a performance is going to teach you their system before they let you loose on it. Knowing the vocabulary, order of operations, and when to shout commands out to the loading bridge or other people on stage is something you want to burn into your long-term memory at an early age.

For other training or educational opportunities for where you are in your career, I would look at any of these books that strike your fancy: • Entertainment Rigging by Harry Donovan • Stage Rigging by Jay Glerum • Rigging Math Made Simple • Stock Scenery Construction Handbook • Electricity for the Entertainment Electrician by Richard Cadena • Stage Lighting by Steve Shelley • Sound Systems: Design & Optimization • Understanding Color: An Introduction for Designers ETC and other lighting and sound manufacturers have lots of training videos on YouTube and their own website you can watch. ETC also has a bunch of online training courses on their website about consoles, DMX troubleshooting, system maintenance, and networking that range from free to $15 or $20/each. If you hang out around various online forums such as ControlBooth or ProSoundWeb and check in a couple times a week you'll learn a lot about the different trades and markets of our industry and make a few connections with people who can answer any/every question you may have. The 'Search' function of these places or digging around in old threads will give you an almost endless supply of quality reading material.
