Good question, and I don't think we have an industry answer. But in thinking about it, I'm sure as schit going to bring it up with the Industry-Wide, Labor-Management Safety Committee, which meets every month. That Committee represents all the Unions in Hollywood and all the major studios. We publish the motion picture industry Safety Bulletins, which are interesting if you want to look at them. Lots of weird stuff regarding filming safety, infant actors, venomous reptiles, a bunch of really weird stuff that you've probably never thought of regarding filming. Its a public website, so I'm not giving any secrets away. http://csatf.org/bulletintro.shtml

You might also be interested in the Industry Safety training program. We hire lots of workers from the Industry and have developed an Industry-wide safety training program, so if you work for Disney, Warner Bros, Fox, Universal, Sony, Paramount, you get the same fungible or transferable training. You can find it at the same website here: http://csatf.org/sppdesc.pdf

While I don't run it anymore, I was the Architect of that training program. Its since been modeled by most the of refineries that hire outside workers from the same contractors. I think we've included something like 40,000 Hollywood crew members in the program.
