Description
Code 7610 applies to employers engaged in operating a radio or television broadcasting stations. This classification includes both inside and field employees as well as clerical office workers and drivers. Control and lighting operators, cameras and boom microphone personnel, engineers, technicians, scriptwriters, announcers, players, entertainers and musicians whether working solely within the radio or television studio or at locations away from the studio also are contemplated within the scope of this classification. Outside engineers visually inspect field transmitters and make connections for “pick-up” at golf courses, ballparks, auditoriums, etc. These engineers may at times service existing towers involving tower climbing, although telephone company employees are generally responsible for the facilities up to the area to be served so that the radio or television station employees need only place their equipment. The work performed by control or monitoring crews during performances in auditoriums or elsewhere outside of the studio involves variable exposure depending upon the location of the “special feature” which is to be picked up, and their work is practically the same as performed by studio control or monitoring crews.
