EDUCATION
IATSE Local 122 takes education seriously and here are a few reasons why.
In today’s world of rapid change, everyone must be a lifelong student.
The Education & Training Department facilitates and supports a culture of continuous education within the IATSE. Equally dedicated to leadership skills for union officers and craft skills and safety training for workers, the department sponsors and promotes union skills courses and workshops.
It also works closely with the IATSE Training Trust Fund, ETCP, USITT, and others to help workers keep abreast of new technologies, equipment, and styles of work. The Department operates outreach programs to high school and college students, creating a link to the workers of tomorrow.
By furnishing IATSE Local Unions and members access to training and education, we hope to continue to provide excellent representation and the best, most advanced, and highly-skilled workforce in the arts, media, and entertainment industries

SAFETY FIRST
“This course provides a general introduction to the world of workplace health and safety. It explains why worker health and safety is important, why injuries and illnesses occur in the workplace, effective injury and illness prevention programs, methods of hazard identification and control, and strategies to promote health and safety.”
“The purpose of the OSHA Outreach Training Program is to teach workers about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as how to recognize, abate, and prevent job-related hazards. OSHA Outreach Training Program training does not meet the training requirements contained in any OSHA standard. Some states and local jurisdictions have enacted legislation mandating OSHA Outreach Training Program training, and some employers and unions require workers to have this training to work on job sites or to fulfill their own safety training goals”
