Only a knowledgeable, well trained musician can bring out the best music from a Stradivarius violin, and the same concept applies to a mascot costume- only a well-trained performer, thoroughly familiar with your costume inside and out- and how to wear and perform in it safely and effectively- will bring out the full potential of your mascot, regardless of how expensive or well-made the costume is.
Don’t cancel out the promotional magic of your mascot costume investment with a sub-standard performance by a poorly trained performer. And, more importantly, don’t expose yourself or your organization to needless legal liability- from either your performer or the public- by allowing an inadequately trained and prepared person to wear your mascot costume. With work related legal and liability issues of all kinds- especially lawsuits- at an all-time high, it just makes sense to cover all the bases. Remember that your mascot is much more than just a costume- he or she is a complex work related business tool, and it just makes good business sense to insure that those that use your mascot do so safely and professionally, as they would when using any other specialized piece of equipment.

In most cases, local, state, and federal work related agencies such as OSHA requires that businesses and organizations provide proper, on the job training for all employees, regardless of their position. Properly organized and executed mascot training- stressing proper procedures and safety - is an absolute necessity if you wish to operate and maintain the best possible mascot program.
