RISK ASSESSMENT
It is the responsibility of the ORGANISER to control and monitor all activities and hazards associated with their event.
To ensure compliance with the current legislation, all Organisers must carry out their own "Risk Assessment" and provide copy of it to the BDC prior to the start of their tenancy.
All exhibitors, both Shell Scheme and Space Only are required to carry out their own "Risk Assessment" and provide copy of it to the Organiser prior to the start of the tenancy.
In addition all Exhibitors with Space Only stands must ask their Contractors to provide the Organiser with the following, in addition to scale drawings;
- A general policy statement on Health and Safety.
- A method statement for the Project.
- A construction timetable.
- A copy of third party liability insurance certificate showing £5m cover.
Further details of the legislation and the venue regulations are available on request.
THIS OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT SHOULD CONTAIN DETAILS OF ANY POTENTIAL HAZZARDS OR UNUSUAL EVENTS
HEIGHT LIMITS (Organisers & Exhibitors)
Exhibitors wishing to build above 2.5m must check with the Project Manager. For any structures that exceed 4 metres in height, please consult your Project Manager as it could affect the service feeds at the venue.
