If OSHA determines that corner workers are employees opposed topart of club activities there is going to be a new hazard at corner stations as well.
I don't mean this in jest either, in Maryland you can always tell where in a construction site a speed camera car may be situated as a port-a-pot must be located within 100 ft of the vehicle as per OSHA regulations.
I feel that the solution is more SCCA F&C workers, which I am one, but haven't flagged in a few years. The training is great and working with the buddy system in tandem is definitely the way to go. Now I know the thought process is, well getting more SCCA F&C workers is easier said than done and that the HPDE/SCCA Solo I program even offers a work 3 get 1 free program. Which is a great starting point. But the vast majority of SCCA members involved in driving programs autocross. If a work/autocross benefit program were arranged an attracted even 5% of autocrosses to take advantage the problem would be solved regarding the number of corner workers, allowing for a minimum of 2 workers at every station as well. Now whether OSHA determines whether SCCA F&C workers flagging non-SCCA events is club related activities is anyone's guess and something I wouldn't be willing to place a bet on.
