CA AB1775

Requires contracting entities at public events venues (state fairgrounds, county fairgrounds, state parks, CSU, UC, and auxiliary organizations) to mandate that entertainment events vendors certify their employees have completed specified OSHA training before setting up, operating, or tearing down live events.

Employees involved in live event staging must complete Cal/OSHA-10, OSHA-10/General Entertainment Safety, or OSHA-10 training as applicable to their occupation.

Supervisory personnel (heads of departments and leads) must complete Cal/OSHA-30 or OSHA-30 training and obtain Entertainment Technician Certification Program certification, or the vendor must certify employees meet skilled and trained workforce standards.

Division of Occupational Safety and Health shall enforce requirements through citations and civil penalties issued to entertainment events vendors only, not individual employees, with penalty funds deposited into the Occupational Safety and Health Fund.

Does not apply to direct employees of the public events venue and does not prevent entities from adopting stricter safety standards or relieve employers from other existing occupational safety and health requirements.
