Safety

Our company was formed through a strong commitment to education, research, and training in special effects rigging. Our growth and success can be attributed largely to our continued dedication to safety, innovation, and collaboration.

The professionals at Vertigo actively contribute to ANSI standards for the entertainment industry. Through direct participation in the ESTA Technical Standards Program, our owner is one of the key members of the Task Group currently editing ANSI E1.43 - Performer Rigging. A healthy risk analysis and risk reduction process is the backbone of our creative process. Our primary job is to keep your performers safe.
