Someone on a job site once told me, 'I'm not safety.' But the whole point is, we all are. With 30,000+ crew rotating across the country, the choices any one of us makes have ripple effects far beyond the building we're in. That's the culture we're building at RockForce: everyone is safety.
Services
Safety & Training
Safety isn't a department at RockForce — it's a discipline woven into every crew, every call, and every deployment. From OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) 10/30-certified workforce to ETCP (Entertainment Technician Certification Program)-credentialed riggers, every RockForce team member arrives trained, certified, and ready. And through RockForce Rigging University, we're building the next generation of qualified professionals for the industry.
How We Operate
Safety Is an Operating Discipline
Every RockForce crew deploys with site-specific safety plans, pre-shift briefings, and a clear chain of command. We track incidents, conduct risk assessments, and maintain onsite safety officers where scope requires. When conditions are unsafe, work stops — full stop.
This isn't compliance theater. It's how we've built trust with venues, promoters, and production teams across North America.
Our Approach
Five Disciplines. One Standard.
01
Standardized, Industry-Recognized Training Programs
RockForce partners with leading providers and facilitates in-house certification programs for heavy equipment and fall protection — so venues and producers get consistently trained crews across North America.
02
Proactive Investment in Safety Compliance
We fund fall-protection buy-back programs and subsidize safety-toe footwear nationwide, removing cost barriers that often lead to non-compliance — and lowering injury exposure before crews ever step on site.
03
Real-Time, On-Site Risk Management
Trained Safety Officers and professional weather monitoring allow us to actively manage environmental and operational risks, helping productions make faster, smarter calls without sacrificing safety or schedule.
04
Data-Driven Incident Prevention, Not Just Reporting
Granular incident tracking, root-cause analysis, and event-level benchmarking let us identify patterns early — so issues are corrected once, not repeated across tours or venues.
05
Long-Term Workforce & Leadership Development
Leadership training, structured career paths, video onboarding, and investment in college and community stagehand programs ensure a deeper bench of qualified and loyal crew leads — improving productivity, execution, accountability, and continuity over time.
What We Teach
Trained Before They Hit the Stage.
RockForce runs active training programs across four disciplines: motor (hoist) inspection, ground rigging, rope access certification, and fall protection. Training is ongoing — not a one-time box to check.
Curriculum is developed in coordination with IATSE and aligned with ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and OSHA standards. Venue-specific training is available on request — we can tailor programs to your facility and your crew.
Beyond the Job Site
We Take Care of the Whole Crew.
RockForce has the lowest employee threshold to qualify for health benefits in the live events industry. Access to retirement plans, mental health support, financial coaching, and emergency assistance programs are available to our workforce — not just full-time staff.
Our training programs include ergonomics modules to reduce musculoskeletal risk. Because a crew that's physically and mentally healthy performs better, stays safer, and comes back.
