Episode Notes and Summary:   

This episode begins with a few industry updates, including a mention of free mental health webinars, “In The Era of COVID – Mental Health for the Entertainment Industry” .  We also discuss some positive industry news and mention an important podcast episode just put out by the Event Safety Alliance, “Crowd Lessons from the Capitol Hill Unrest” – some very good insights there.     

Then we have a comprehensive discussion of how an industry veteran created and evolved their risk management services to include COVID-19 testing, vaccination, compliance at events and film shoots, and more. Scott Davidson, founder of Code 4, will also speak about what’s he’s seeing at current festivals, and what he thinks events and festivals may be able to do this year, and what it may take to see them be produced successfully and safely.

This episode wraps with a highlighted non-profit that you can volunteer for, Habitat for Humanity.  They are in need of volunteers to help build homes more now than ever due to the pandemic, and many of the skills we have all learned onsite at events transfer over to home building, and they are happy to teach you anything you may not know how to do yet, like run a table saw.  They require masks and social distancing, and you’re outside virtually the entire time.  Visit their national website to see how you can join up in your community.
