Ribbons for Rigging
USITT’s Rigging Safety Initiative is the only program providing free stage rigging inspections and safety training to secondary schools in the U.S. The program aided dozens of schools with rigging inspections and safety training thanks to sponsorship from JR Clancy, ETC, H&H Specialties, and Shepard Exposition Services.
The RSI also benefits from donations by individuals and sales of Ribbons for Rigging, humorous phrases to personalize Conference badges for $1 per ribbon. At USITT 2016 in Salt Lake, Ribbons for Rigging raised $323 for the RSI.
