Habitat Safety Instructions

For Your Safety

Please wear comfortable clothes appropriate for the work and weather. Wear items that can get stained, ripped, muddy, paint-spackled, etc. You must wear closed-toed shoes - do not wear sandals. For safety, do not wear loose, oversized clothing or dangling jewelry. Summer months can be extremely hot and it can get very cold on site in the winter. Dress appropriately.

Please bring a water bottle (iced water provided on site) and sunscreen.

Media in San Antonio are always welcome to cover HFHSA events. If you see media on the site by themselves – instantly alert a Habitat staff member.

Personal Valuables will not be safe on the work site. We accept no responsibility for lost or stolen items. We highly recommend that you do not bring items that you consider valuable to our work sites. We will provide all the tools and materials you will need to participate.

Security must be maintained on the work site. Concealed weapons, drugs, or alcoholic beverages of any kind are absolutely not permitted on an HFHSA work site. Violators will be asked to leave.

Animals/Pets are not allowed on the work site. HFHSA discourages volunteers from feeding stray animals or pets.
