Dress Code & Attire Requirements:

- Active wear or comfy clothes you can move in (high-vis vest will be provided in office upon check-in).

- Footwear: Mandatory closed-toe shoes (running shoes, sneakers, or work boots). Strictly no thongs,



sandals, or heels due to lifting and heavy vehicles moving through drop-off zones.

Weather & Personal Gear:

Critical Things to Be Aware Of:

1. Manual Handling & Ergonomics

- Bags and boxes can weigh up to 20 kg. Always use proper lifting techniques (lift with your legs, bend at the knees, keep heavy loads close to your body).

- Never lift a box or bag above shoulder height alone, ask a team member for a two-person lift for awkward or heavy items.

2. Vehicle Safety & Traffic Management

- Hubs will be busy with continuous vehicle drop-offs. Always stay aware of reversing vehicles and stick to designated pedestrian walkways and safety zones. High-visibility vests must be worn at all times near vehicle zones (provided onsite).

4. Hydration & Breaks

- Event days are high-energy. Take scheduled breaks, stay hydrated, and notify your Uber Team/ Red Cross Lead if you feel fatigued or unwell. They will introduce themselves to you on arrival.
