What to wear
Make sure to wear long pants and closed shoes. This is done for safety.

How to start your shift
You start your shift with a shot (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) for both the early and late shift. The early shift is to celebrate the start of the shift. The shot at 23:00 is a big gathering of both the early and late shift to announce the switch of shifts. During the shift, the SVH can offer you drinks. You are allowed to drink alcohol if you want, but you certainly don't have to if you don't want to.
