Volunteer/Construction Rules and Standards

1. You MUST be 18 to volunteer.

2. You MUST wear FULLY CLOSED SHOES/BOOTS. (It is a construction site).

3. Due to excellent community support, we cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to work on-site. We appreciate everyone and will do our best but under no circumstance can we ensure that you will be chosen to enter the construction site.

4. You must have fully completed Volunteer and Appearance release forms to volunteer and/or get a shirt for work. Form is available ONSITE.

5. Volunteers will get a t-shirt only when they are sent to the site to work, not before.

6. Only one shirt per Volunteer. If you are coming back to volunteer again, please launder and wear your original t-shirt.

7. Volunteers may be asked to do physical labor. If you have any restrictions or conflicts, please inform the volunteer coordinator.

8. Once on set, DO NOT interfere with the Camera Crew or Cast. This is a television show and in order to successfully complete shooting, we need full cooperation from everyone involved.

9. Unless given specific work duties, you should not be roaming the set. You will be asked to stand by in a designated area as deemed by your Volunteer Coordinator.

10. Please DO NOT ask the "Cast" for autographs. Everyone is working very hard and it's important to respect and uphold a professional work environment.

11. Absolutely NO autographs on Hard Hats. They are not souvenirs and we need enough of them for the safety of all who enter the work site, for the entire build.

12. Volunteers may NOT bring cameras on site. We uphold a productive work site and ask that everyone does the same.

* Please return all hard hats at the end of your work shift. Do not alter the hardhats with decals or autographs, as they are the property of the Builder. We only have a limited supply and are concerned with the safety of all who enter the site.

* We are not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Please leave all of your personal effects in your car or at home.

* If you are not a Construction Worker or signed in as a scheduled Volunteer, you will NOT obtain a t-shirt from this location. Media, VIP, Friends, Family or Production Guests should go through production or your corresponding department to get a t-shirt. At no time shall this Check-In area be able to hand out t-shirts to anyone who is not a registered worker or volunteer.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ASK ANYONE AT ANYTIME TO LEAVE THE SET. With such EXTREME working conditions we may have to clear the site in order to finish this huge undertaking.

On behalf of ABC and Lock & Key Productions, we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dear Volunteer,

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" wishes to thank you in advance for your time to make the show such a success. The completion of the home makeover could not be done without great volunteers like yourself! EMHE wants to stress "safety first" for everyone on hand to make a successful show. There are a few rules we must enforce in order to complete the home makeover in our timeline:

• THIS IS A HOME CONSTRUCTION SITE
  
  • Please be aware that this is a real construction site. Keep an eye out for heavy machinery, tools, and sharp materials at all times. Please watch your step.
  • FULLY CLOSED SHOES/BOOTS are REQUIRED on set. There are NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • Without the permission of production, NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ALLOWED IN AND AROUND THE BUILD SITE. This is an insurance and liability issue for the Construction and Production team.
  • There are many construction workers who have been working around the clock to complete the home in 7 days, please be courteous to them.

• T-SHIRTS
  
  • You are issued ONE "EMHE" blue volunteer t-shirt only for the hours of volunteer work at the house. This shirt must be worn at all times while you are on the "set."
  • There are to be NO alterations done to this t-shirt. You are not allowed to cut, draw, or write on this t-shirt.

• AUTOGRAPHS
  While working as a volunteer, we ask that you do not disturb the designers for autographs. They are working and need to complete their tasks on a tight timeframe. If you want an autograph, you must wait for the proper time in the spectator area. Thank you for your patience. There should be absolutely NO autographing of hard hats-these are the property of the Builder and must be returned to check-in for future use.

• WORKING SITE
  a. "EMHE" races against the clock to complete the home makeover in 7 days. Everyone in the home must be working. If you are loitering, or taking a tour you will be asked to leave. b. Craft Service is for the Construction crew, you are welcome to water and snacks but this is not a place to "hang out."

• CAMERAS
  There are absolutely NO CAMERAS, CAMERA PHONES, OR VIDEO CAMERAS allowed in the house AT ANY TIME. You will be asked to leave if seen taking photos or videos.

• PRODUCTION STAFF
  There is a large TV Production staff all working to complete the home with the contractors and designers. We ask that you do not disturb the Camera, Audio, or Producers when they are working. Please see your Volunteer Coordinator if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
The PRODUCTION STAFF of
"EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION"
