• Longshore workers must be clean shaven at time of despatch to be despatched to any “No Beards” jobs.
• You will not be despatched to VanWharves #1 or any other “No Beards” job if you cannot get a proper respirator seal.
• A 5 o’clock shadow and heavy stubble impede such a proper seal and are considered “beards”.
• If you have a beard please swipe in at the appropriate kiosk so as not to waste your time or the Despatchers’ time.
