Jim Cooper
Health & Safety Commissioner

The Health & Safety Commission will join all of USITT in honoring Dr. Randall W. A. Davidson with the USITT International Health & Safety Award at the Annual Conference & Stage Expo in Long Beach, California.

Dr. Davidson has spent decades dedicated to improving the safe working conditions in all facets of the entertainment industry and has provided his services in many aspects, from on-site inspections to giving expert testimony in entertainment- based law suits. Dr. Davidson created the USITT Health & Safety Commission and served as its first Commissioner. He was named a Fellow of the Institute, and has received many honors. Dr. Davidson currently is writing a safety volume covering safety in the secondary schools, and has created the International Secondary Education Theatre Safety Association. 

The award will be presented at the Health & Safety Commission Meeting on Wednesday, March 17 at 7:30 p.m., and will be acknowledged again at the Awards Banquet. The Health & Safety Commission has invited all attending the Annual Conference to “drop by and thank a diligent man who has spent much of his life making working conditions better for all of us.”

A listing of the Commission Meetings, and all Health & Safety sessions is available on the USITT web site or in the back of the Conference Program.
