Volunteer Safety

Welcome to the Los Angeles Film Festival.

We want your time with us to be rewarding and SAFE. Everyone working at the Festival has a responsibility to create and maintain a safe environment.

Please help to maintain order.

• Festival workers should treat each other and guests with courtesy and respect. This means refraining from all forms of negative behavior, including pushing people and sexual harassment. If someone treats you in an unprofessional manner or you witness this behavior, please notify a supervisor immediately.

Please maintain a safe environment.

• Please help the production team maintain a clean and safe festival environment. For example, if you see a broken bottle on the sidewalk in front of the Volunteer/Information Booth, please grab a broom and sweep it up.
• Please do not allow festival guests to sit on railings, run across the street to catch the Festival shuttle or behave in any way that could cause harm to themselves or someone else.
• Only operate equipment that you have been trained to use. If you have been asked to operate a camera, please be sure to keep it out of harm’s way. Do not leave cameras or other equipment unattended.
• Please keep wires and cables out of harm’s way.

Please keep yourself safe.

• Working at the Festival can be demanding and exhausting. Know your limit. If you are too tired to drive home, please let your supervisor know. We will arrange for someone to take you home.
• Please do not walk to your car late at night unattended. We will arrange for someone to escort you to your car.
