New Safety in Entertainment Website Launched
Sightlines: A new Entertainment Industry Safety Initiative website, now live at www.safetyinentertainment.org, is designed to raise awareness of safety in the live event production industry among companies and individuals. It provides information and resources regarding safe work practices, record keeping, accident reporting, and more. The site currently focuses on codes and regulations in the United States, but will expand to cover other countries.

I was excited when I read the headline of this article. And pending the recent year of injuries and collapses I though this web site would be a helpful resource. But after poking around if for about 5 minutes I realized that it is just a regurgitation of other governmental safety website info and it read like stereo instructions. I was so hard to muddle through that I did not find it helpful at all. It did not say thins like: rehearse difficult moves, check your GAC, tents can't survive tornadoes, stuff like that. You know- Common sense .com
I think the thing that would make this website useful is to be able to search for a topic and then have all of the applicable rules from all of the sources streamlined into one document that links to the different standards.
Having worked on a few projects that required NFPA and OSHA input, having the similar sections compared and consolidated would have saved so much time.
On the other hand, there is something to be said for having to look through the different sources and any single issue could be affected by multiple and many sections.
