IATSE Local 891 Puts Safety First

IATSE Local 891 has a vigorous member safety training program which is either free or 100% reimburseable. Safety on all productions is carefully monitored. This is done through participation in formal Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees for every production. Production shop stewards and the Senior Steward's office are always available to assist members with safety concerns.

The physical safety of members is not the only concern. Bullying or harassment on the part of employers or fellow union members is not tolerated.

Employers and employees have serious responsibilities around health and safety. Please check rules and regulations for more details.
