      Working at height presents routine challenges and significant risks in Performing Arts operations and productions. Serious injuries or fatalities can occur as a result of a fall from height while working or performing in the theater. Applying Cal-OSHA Standards and usual control methods developed for the roofing and construction industries can be difficult in the Performing Arts.  With these thoughts in mind, I have developed a 2-day Fall Protection Competent Person Training targeted and geared toward theater operations and activities. The training will allow individuals to better recognize, evaluate, and develop controls for the types of hazards that exist in many theater venues. The training is based on the ANSI Z359.2 - 2007 (Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program) Competent Person criteria and Fed-OSHA 1926.503(a) Fall Protection Standard for the Construction Industry. Relevant Cal-OSHA regulations and corresponding standards will also be reviewed and covered.

    • Sexual Harassment Prevention in the Field

      Sexual Harassment Prevention in the Field

      Copyright: 2020

      Fieldwork is an important and often necessary component of many scientific disciplines, yet research suggests that it presents a high-risk setting for incidents of sexual harassment and assault. This 90-minute online workshop has been developed by a team of field researchers at UC Santa Cruz. It identifies the unique risks posed by fieldwork and offers a suite of evidence-based tools for field researchers, instructors, and students to prevent, intervene in, and respond to sexual harassment and assault. Through a series of practical intervention scenarios, this workshop guides participants on how to be an active and engaged bystander, how to report incidents, and how to plan field settings to minimize risk. Armed with these tools, participants can play a role in ensuring that field settings are safer, more equitable, and more welcoming for the next generation of field scientists.
