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.

Report Safety Hazards graphic

 

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.
