Emergency
Transport
Getting to Glasgow, getting around, and what to do when public transport doesn't cover it.
Arrival & Departure Transport
Please keep transfer receipts for reimbursement.
Project Period Transportation
Public Transport
All venues can be reached by public transport. As the Organising Committee are not providing transport cards, please purchase a Zone Card on arrival.
Purchasing a Zone Card
You can purchase one at a Payzone store. The app has been described as "truly abysmal" and "infuriating" — a physical card is strongly recommended. Find your nearest Payzone store ↗
Receipts
Please save all receipts for reimbursement.
Taxis
Outside Public Transport Hours
If your shift times fall outside of public transport schedules, please inform your PM or Niamh O'Meara to get a taxi approved.
Approval Required
All taxi costs must be cleared with management first.

Site Access
Install Period
You will receive a Bump In pass on arrival when you show your downloaded Induction Completion Certificate. PPE is required from Day 1.
Operations Period
Once the venue goes into lockdown you will need your accreditation pass to access site. Collect this from the UAC before the operational period begins.
Food on Site
Meals
Meals are not provided on site. You are welcome to bring a packed lunch — please plan ahead for this. Your accommodation includes a kitchenette, so you'll have the option to prepare food before and after shifts.
First Aid & Incidents
If there is any injury or incident on site, please go to the VTM first, then inform your supervisor and Niamh O'Meara as soon as possible afterwards.
Technical Incidents
Technical incidents or issues should be internally reported to your PM. Please use your own discretion on whether an incident can be managed in a timely manner within the venue team, or if you need managerial support, or if your PM should be made aware of the incident.
Uniform
You will receive a Clair t-shirt on arrival. During the competition period please wear unbranded blacks or Clair apparel provided.
Tools
Install Team
Please bring basic hand tools. Bear in mind that once the site goes into accreditation, all entry is subject to security screening. Make sure any tools you need are brought on site before that point.
Harnesses
Your PM will inform you about harnesses on a case by case basis.
