Students were educated and refreshed in the recent changes to SDS sheets and more. DBI-SALA even provided a live demonstration on the importance of fall protection.
Mountain Productions is proud to continue its tradition of annual safety training. The importance of this training is paramount. Each and every company in the entertainment industry should be dedicating time towards a mandatory company-wide training, as it is the only way to ensure a holistic “safety-first” mindset among staff and crew members, both on the road and at home.
