ASK THE NABA NETWORK

Jermaine Flythe asked the Network:

How would you feel if a negative covid test was requested before a detail started?

Shawn Ritchie

We already know that's coming.. The question is really: 1. Will there be enough notice prior to the beginning of the detail for that to be practical? 2. What is the allowable period of a previous negative test to be acceptable?

Anthony Burnside

I’m doing it right now since last year. And due to the client I’m with, I’ve been fully vaccinated and I still get tested. This will become the standard?

Hucky Austin

I get tested weekly not a big deal for me. And, I’ve been vaccinated as well. I figure anything I can do to give the client peace of mind is worth it.

Lee Barnard

If that’s what the client wants that’s what we do.

Sean Bravo

If you don’t take it, someone else will and work the job. Easy decision based on your circumstances.

Mark James

That only seems responsible in today’s environment. It has also been a requirement for all of the large projects I have been working on.

Steve Rivera

My Tour Boss has reached out to about 90% of the Clients. They all will require a vaccine. Comes down to your choice. Do you wanna work or pass. That simple. I will take the vaccine if work requires it.

Ryan Mcmillan

Client or company, if you work for them, they have the right to request. You shouldn’t have to, legally, but it’s going depend on you getting the job or not.

Loren Johnson

Had it requested on almost every detail since this all started..... and suspect once the vaccine is widely available proof of that will be requested as well.

Ben Rakhman

I feel that if you are not testing security agents and staff members then you are not doing enough to protect the companies you're working for.

Que Prime

Me and my team just finished a detail for the last month that required a test taken every 3 days. Up to the last week leading up to the show then daily before entering the building to relief the overnight crew. Whatever, the client wants.

Charla Eudy-Thomas

Fine and depending on the detail I would request the same of the client.

Anjurr Henderson

Not a problem. Our job is to protect our client, even from ourselves these days. I wouldn't want my client sick because of me or any of my guys.
