We would like to thank all of you for your hard work getting through the last few weeks. It’s been
incredibly hot, and two out of the three blackout days were very long days. Security is not an easy job
when you have to deal with the elements at hand. Thank you to all of the supervisors out there that were
looking out for their crews and making sure they were getting hydrated and fed. Teamwork is such an
important aspect of what we do here. We can’t make it through these events without each other so taking
care of one another is essential. I’ve included pictures below of some of the barricade guys at work. You
can see Mark Schmit on the left helping a crowd surfer over. In the middle you can see Mr. Fred Begay
who graced us with his presence for the Mayhem festival, along with Mike “Sally” Salinel and Shawn and
Lil’ Riggs. Then on the right I do believe that is Andrew Sloan. I’ve never been in the barricade but I
heard that it’s much hotter than being on a post, so kudos to them for dealing with the heat and still doing
a great job. Everyone else did a good job as well, including the parking crews. There’s a lot of running
around and telling people no involved with parking and it requires a lot of mobility most of the time so it’s
quite the workout. The blacktop adds to the heat out there, along with the cars so I
commend all of you who worked out in parking as well. I know you probably would
have rather been inside but I appreciate you working out there with me.
Everyone stay hydrated and we’ll see you out there again for Big Time Rush!
If you can’t work at least a 4 hour shift on these days, a vacation request
form is required TWO WEEKS prior to the dates you will need off.
WATER WATER WATER!
After working Vans Warped Tour out at Camelback Ranch I think a
lot of people learned just how bad the heat can be while you are
working security. You have to hydrate the DAY BEFORE and when
you are thirsty it is already too late as you have already started to
become dehydrated. Read this article to find out more about
dehydration and how to prevent it. In conjunction with that article,
you can read about heat-related illnesses here, including signs and
treatment. It may even help you identify patrons at events that need
medical attention.
FAQ
Q: Will you provide coffee for me to drink at my shift?
A: No. Drinks and food are your responsibility. If you need coffee,
drink some before you get to your shift. Drinking it prior to arriving to
your shift will decrease the possibility of getting it on your uniform.
But please remember that coffee contains caffeine, which is bad
because it will actually make you thirstier. And that means you will
have to drink even MORE water to make up for it. It’s very important
to be prepared. You need food for energy and drinks for hydration.
