EESCO: Entertainment Electrical Safety Committee of Ontario
The Entertainment Electrical Safety Committee of Ontario (EESCO) was formed in 1998 to address concerns from the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) about electrical practices in the Ontario entertainment industry .
Originally comprised of representatives from the ESA and the film & television industry, EESCO expanded to include the rest of the entertainment industry – live performance, live event, carnivals and trade shows.
