The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees has launched its safety hotline program for members to report hazards on the job.
The union, which represents grips, set decorators, camera operators and other so-called below-the-line crew mbers on film and television production, said the hotline is meant as a "safety net" for employees who spot safety problems on set.
“We remain committed to doing everything possible to keep our members safe and healthy at work,” said IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb. “This new hotline is another measure supporting that all-important commitment.”
When a member calls the IATSE Safety Hotline (Toll free: 844-IA AWARE, 844-422-9273), the caller can either leave a message for or talk to a safety representative who will begin handling the issue.
