Heat Safety at Phoenix Sky Harbor
The well-being of employees at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is of the utmost importance to the City of Phoenix, especially during the summer months of extreme heat.
Summer heat can present many challenges, but we want to ensure that airport employees are prepared and understand the resources available to them.
Heat Mitigation Ordinance
Phoenix City Council recently passed a Heat Mitigation Ordinance, which went into effect April 25. Read the ordinance.
Blue Campaign: Help End Human Trafficking
Phoenix Sky Harbor is taking part in the Blue Campaign, which is designed to educate employees and passengers alike to recognize human trafficking and the best way to respond to potential instances.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has created videos to spread awareness of the signs and indicators of human trafficking.
Remember: If you see something, say something.
Employees, Be Aware of Busy Airport Parking Facilities
PHX Parking Management anticipates public parking demand to
exceed capacity during fall break until about Oct. 10. To best
accommodate our travelling public and maintain our reputation as America’s Friendliest Airport®, please follow the guidance for employees who park at the airport. Also, please be aware of a new seasonal parking facility located near the Rental Car Center (1820 E. Sky Harbor Circle South).
Stay Informed About Construction,
Road Restrictions
Road restrictions and construction updates are a click away: Improving PHX, DVT and GYR is where you can find important notices about projects that are ongoing and coming soon.
All employees have a right to a safe workplace and should feel comfortable to report unsafe conditions. A work environment becomes safer when many people are alert to potential hazards and can quickly report them. Access to the form can be found on https://forms.skyharbor.aero under the Safety dropdown tab. This form can also be completed using a mobile device.
The Safety Hazard Incident Reporting form should be used to report non-emergency safety concerns at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The form is not intended for reporting emergencies. If the safety concern is an emergency, call 602-273-3311 immediately. If you have any questions of a safety concern, please email to avn.safety@phoenix.gov or call 602-495-SAFE (7233).

Keep Your Eyes Out for Compassion Cacti™ Lanyards
America’s Friendliest Airport® offers the Compassion Cacti™ Lanyard Program, which is aimed at providing an extra-friendly hand to customers who need more time or additional assistance when traveling through the airport.
Customers, their parents, caregivers or guardians can request a Compassion Cacti™ lanyard prior to their next visit to the airport by completing a request form at skyharbor.com.
- Requests will be reviewed by customer service staff within 5-7 business days.
- Once processed, customers can pick up their lanyard at the Compassion Corner Office by showing a photo ID prior to or on the day of travel.
- When a customer wears the lanyard, PHX Airport employees will know that the passenger may need extra assistance, or a little more time at the check-in counter, security checkpoint and other areas.
- The Compassion Cacti lanyards can be kept and used each time the passenger travels through PHX, but the lanyard will only be recognized at PHX.
The Compassion Corner is located in Terminal 4 on level 3 behind elevator B in the Chapel at PHX. For additional information and assistance, please email skyharbor@phoenix.gov or call 602-534-0293.
