In addition to training a freelance workforce of ~60,000 motion picture production workers through its acclaimed Safety Pass program, Contract Services administers the Industry Experience Roster and performs a wide array of other support services for the motion picture industry. It is also the home of the Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee, which issues Safety Bulletins and other guidance used by productions around the world.
