Welcome to Backstage Safety

 Industry professionals are needlessly injured or killed on a daily basis.  This website is a community effort to make known the very real dangers of our profession and to create a database of injures or deaths to prevent future tragedies.  Please post, share, and help.

Commentary: Columns written by industry professionals on topics of safety.

News: Current events related to safety and our industry.

Report Accidents: Please post any accidents, past, present and future in the Report Accidents section.  We need your help, to post injuries and deaths, past, present, and future.  We cannot ignite change without a records.  Employers and venue managers are reluctant to implement safety standards, saying, “there is not need,” or “where are the bodies.” They are here.  They are due oftentimes to the use of cheaper, unqualified labor, and to save a dime at the expense of our bodies and our lives.  Please Post!

Memorial: Let’s honor those who gave their lives to our industry; remember and honor those who lost their lives.  Please post memorials, share stories, love, and remembrance.
