"We are extremely pleased that the ESA has joined the Council and that Steve Adelman will be sitting at the table. The ESA's focus on safety at live events and Steve' expertise in risk management and litigation regarding safety and security will be a true asset to the program," stated Tim Hansen, ETCP Council chair.
"I am honoured to join the ETCP Council and to support its efforts to expand recognition of and insistence on ETCP certification when hiring professionals to perform skilled work. While the law simply requires everyone to behave reasonably under the circumstances, when performing complex tasks that potentially impact the safety of technicians, performers, and audiences, a reasonable worker should have applicable training and certification, and a reasonable employer should insist on using properly trained and certified workers. I hope to use my lawyerly advocacy skills to spread this truth, which I believe to be self-evident," said Steve Adelman.
The Event Safety Alliance (ESA) is dedicated to promoting "life safety first" throughout all phases of event production and execution. We strive to eliminate the knowledge barrier that often contributes to unsafe conditions and behaviours through the promotion and teaching of good practices and the development of training and planning resources.
