As the Chief of Workers, you are responsible to assign, train, and equip workers for each station. You are also responsible for reporting to the Chief Steward anyone that has not worked his or her appropriate shift.

Attached is a list of do’s and don’ts for corner workers. Go over this with the workers. Insure that the corner workers are proficient at radio operation and protocol as well as documenting every car that passes their position. The accurate recording of all pylon penalties and/or course deviations are critical duties for the corner workers to perform.

Worker positions are usually assigned at registration. It is suggested that you be there to oversee the worker assignment station. The proper head count as well as consideration for the experience level mix should be carefully thought out so that delays to reposition personnel are minimized. Proper radio operation and protocol, red flag procedures, and pylon and course deviation infractions should be clearly understood by all corner workers. The "Down-and-Out Rule" should be reviewed, as well as the proper way to document each car that passes a work station and any penalties incurred. The proper number of corner workers is dependent on the length of the course, the number of worker stations and the area (size) to be covered by any one group of workers. There should be a radio operator, a person to document all cars and infractions, and a minimum of 1 to 2 workers to reset pylons. NO PHOTOGRAPHY is allowed by corner workers when they are working a run group.

It is your responsibility to make sure course incident reports are separated and put on clipboards for each worker station for each heat both Saturday & Sunday.

Make sure that you assign enough Safety Stewards to work with the Event Safety Steward, normally 1 to 2 workers per heat.

Do not forget about the workers that may be needed to work the gate(s), waivers and other non-course-related functions.

• Make sure you check in with the Chief of Course prior to the beginning of your work shift.

• Make sure your station has adequate supplies: extra pylons, fire extinguishers, red flag, clipboard with report forms.

• Make sure you know your area of responsibility and the location of your radio person.

• Make sure all the cones in your area are in their proper place when you first come on station AND periodically check them throughout your work shift.

• Make sure you read and understand the pylon rules, Section 7.9 A, B & C in the Solo II Rule book. Pointer cones do not count if hit.

• Pay attention to the cars on course for accurate cone counts AND your safety.

• Replace cones as soon as possible – another car will be through in 20-30 seconds.

• Be prepared for exposure to sun/rain, wind, heat/cold while on station.

• Do not use cameras while on a corner station.

• Do not sit down and Do not wander away from your post.

• Do not turn your back to cars on course.

• Do not red flag a car unless instructed to do so by the radio person OR if it is an emergency. However, if in doubt, error on the side of safety! The red flag must be kept in hand, held against the leg, and ready for immediate deployment.

• Do not litter!!!

• Do not pick up hot parts dropped on course because of a risk of burns.
