If you are planning on working with the U S Marshalls at an upcoming event it would be a good idea to print out this page and familiarize yourself with its contents. If you have any questions concerning this document, please e-mail us. All workers are hereby informed and must understand that working at races is dangerous and may result in severe or fatal injury. The following instructions are a guide to conduct and safety, however, compliance with these guidelines cannot guarantee the personal safety of any worker. When track conditions change, workers must inform the riders of the problem by the use of flags and hand signals.
Workers aid fallen riders and clean the track of debris, oil and motorcycles.
The main requirements are common sense and patience. Safety is the concern of everyone involved at every level of the sport. Always have an escape route in mind when you are near traffic or on the course. Don't stay in unsafe areas. This allows an oncoming rider to make a change before entering and gives the flagger a view of the turn and other workers from a relatively safe location.
