Contracting Entity and Live Event Vendor Requirements
San Diego Municipal Code § 22.6002
in effect§22.6002 Contracting Entity and Live Event Vendor Requirements
(a) A contracting entity shall use a written contract for production.
(b) A live event vendor shall confirm both of the following before any work on a complex live event within a City facility or park begins:
(1) any employees of a live event vendor, including any subcontractors’ employees, involved in the setup, operation, or teardown of non-permanent rigging, large portable power distribution systems, or both, completed the OSHA-10 course; and
(2) any Supervisors of employees described in section 22.6002(b)(1), including any subcontractors’ supervisors, completed the OSHA-30 course, and are certified through the Entertainment Technician Certification Program for the work performed within the applicable trade.
(c) A contracting entity shall require that a live event vendor provide to the contracting entity both of the following before any work on a complex live event within a City facility or park begins:
(1) the names of all employees described in section 22.6002(b); and
(2) the course or certification the employee described in section 22.6002(b) completed and the date of completion or certification.
(d) A live event vendor shall maintain a written record of the information provided under section 22.6002(c) for a minimum of two years. The live event vendor’s failure to retain a written record, or the live event vendor’s failure to allow the Enforcement Official described in San Diego Municipal Code section 22.6005 reasonable access to the written record, creates a rebuttable presumption that the live event vendor has violated section 22.6002(d).
(e) The requirements of section 22.6002 shall not apply to any City employee while in the performance of their duties.
