MEMBERSHIP REPORT
Mandatory Safety
Requirements
for AD/UPMs & AD/SMs
As part of the Guild's ongoing efforts to elevate the importance
of safety in your workplaces, the recently negotiated 2023-
2026 Basic Agreement (BA) and Freelance Live and Tape
Television Agreement (FLTTA) include requirements for
DGA employees to complete additional training courses.
For members working in the categories of AD/UPMs and AD/SMs the
following trainings will become mandatory – in addition to the existing
Safety Pass Training – in order to work on productions covered by the
Basic Agreement ("BA") and the Freelance Live and Tape Television
Agreement ("FLTTA"):
• Location Safety (CSATF Course Z1) and
• Traditional Insert Car Safety (CSATF Course B5 [Mandatory
Under the BA Only])
Both mandatory as of March 31, 2024 or 90 days from
initial date of employment, whichever is later.
DGA members taking these courses beginning January 1, 2025 will be
eligible for a stipend by logging in with their SAFETY PASS credentials
at https://portal.csatf.org/auth/login. An email with more detailed
instructions will be sent to members prior to the date the trainings
become mandatory, and any questions about accessing them may be
addressed to DGA Contracts Coordinator Chloe Christiansen at
(310) 289-2058 or via email at cchristiansen@dga.org.
