Safety Training
Okay, roadie story time: I was motivated to learn First Aid/CPR/AED after working as production staff at a music festival. I cannot underestimate how valuable it is to develop these skills, especially as a member of touring and/or festival crew. Festival sites are often located far from emergency services. Most festivals have temporary first aid services onsite during the show days (read: when the audience is there) but they may not provide these same services on the setup and tear-down days pre- and post-festival. Empower yourself and your team by learning First Aid/CPR/AED skills! – The Roadie Librarian
