Mandatory CSATF Training
TAG members are required to participate in Harassment Prevention Training. This training requirement is coordinated through Contract Services which is funded by all the union studios.
The mandatory Workplace Violence Protection Training was added in 2024. The CSATF course is designed to comply with SB 553, the new California law requiring Workplace Violence Prevention training. Like other safety courses offered by CSATF, it is tailored to the motion picture industry. Also in accordance with California law, this course must be taken every year. Workplace Violence Protection Training can be accessed through Contract Services.
The recently required Covid-19 Prevention Training is no longer mandatory. The training is still available for those who would like to take it.
