Foundations & Safety · Wavemist Certified

Foundations: The Floor

What you'll learn

• ✓ Identify the live-event chain of command and what each role (Producer, PM, TD, department heads, SM/show caller) is accountable for
• ✓ Sequence the load-in-to-strike arc and explain why order (rigging first, first-in-last-out) is a safety and workflow rule
• ✓ Define core load-in vocabulary — call, call time, minimum, advance, meal-penalty clock — as structures rather than fixed numbers
• ✓ Explain why advancing well prevents show-day firefighting and why the TD owns the load-in sequence as a life-safety craft

Read the short course, then pass the exam with a perfect score — retake it as many times as you need — to earn a verifiable certificate. It teaches the framework and the vocabulary; exact union rates always come from the governing agreement, never a number memorized for a test.
