As part of the recent legislative session, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1775, which implements new workplace safety training and certification requirements for entertainment events vendors who produce live events at public events venues.
Specifically, any business that contracts with the entertainment events vendor to set up, operate, or tear down a live event at a public events venue must require the vendor to certify in writing, for its employees and the employees of any subcontractors, the following:
(1) All employees involved in setting up, operating, or tearing down the live event at the venue have completed the Cal/OSHA-10, the OSHA-10/General Entertainment Safety training, or the OSHA-10 as applicable to their occupation. These are 10-hour training courses developed by Cal/OSHA and federal OSHA pertaining to workplace safety.
