Staff fainted near shooting ranges at Barry Buddon because they were not given enough water and were forced to stand at their posts in blazing heat during 12-hour shifts, according to a security guard.
The Dundee man, who says he is still owed around £2,000 by the contractors who employed him, also claimed some staff literally fell asleep on the job because it was so hot.
The man, who was working on training days at the shooting range, said he was promised work for the duration of the competition but was “let go” a week past Tuesday after tournament accreditation promised by his employer did not turn up.
The security guard, who was contracted by Glasgow-based Sword Security, said he was “not surprised” concerns had been raised.
He said: “I was a security guard at the site for three weeks. The supervisors were ex-squaddies and treated people like they were recruits in the army.
“The whole thing wasn’t run properly at all. I’m not surprised someone has went to the papers.
“People were sitting at their posts because it was so hot and there wasn’t much going on at that time.
“Then the supervisors came in and said people were making the place look untidy. But it was so hot.One guy was given a bike to patrol the big woods at the back of the shooting ranges.
“He fainted on his bike because he didn’t have enough water. Another guy fell asleep on the road. It was only after we complained that they started giving out more water.
“They also told us we would get £8.50 per hour going up to £9.50. But it turned out it was £7.50 going up to £8.50. But I’ve still not been paid.”
No one from Sword Security could be contacted for comment.
The organisers said they were “following up” issues with contractors.
