How does it work?
-
The Human Directional typically reports to the client’s onsite personnel at the beginning of the shift. The client will provide the sign that they will be using that day and is usually stored onsite.
-
After checking-in, the Human Directional goes to their area of responsibility. The shift is typically six hours. Each shift has scheduled breaks, including a lunch break (required at six hours). Standard hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; or 12 noon to 6 p.m.
-
Human Directionals are actively pointing the sign toward the direction of the project. They are not encouraged to throw or twirl the signs as the expectation is to direct people to the right location (hard to do if people can’t read the sign).
-
At the end of the shift, the Human Directional returns their sign to the client’s location.
