stand. Exhibitors taking space only sites backing on to, surrounded by or adjoining shell scheme sites should not
assume that panels facing their stand will be finished and those exhibitors must make good these panels. Please note

Shell Scheme
Two sets of detailed plans showing structural stability for any part of the stand exceeding height restrictions (height
restrictions for stands are detailed on page 15) must be sent to the organisers for approval. Detailed drawings should
show the form and dimension of every structural member with appropriate general arrangement plans, sections and
elevations, including full details of stairways, and most importantly, calculations of loading and strength. These details
should be submitted as a complete package.

Space only
For specific information on stand construction height please contact Lucy Owen on 02476 851722 as
this depends on the location of your stand within the exhibition halls.

required may cause additional cost.
Informing Contractors
Any exhibitor using a contractor to design and build their stand should pass all relevant information received from the
organisers about the exhibition on to that contractor. Additional copies of this manual are available upon request from
Lucy Owen on 02476 851722 or [email protected]

Exhibitor’s Responsibilities
An exhibition stand is a workplace covered by health and safety legislation. As the exhibitor it is your responsibility to
ensure that a suitable and sufficient risk assessment is completed.
Failure to do so could lead to delays or ultimately the closure of your stand.
This template is for a simple shell scheme exhibition stand which does not require any structural approval from the
organiser or the venue. More complex stands will require a more detailed risk assessment and if you are in any doubt
you should contact the Lucy Owen on 02476 851 722 or email [email protected].
Does your stand include any of the following? If so you must complete the attached risk assessment for simple stands
please answer Yes or No:
Yes/No
Lifting heavy products during the build-up/breakdown
Working at height (using ladders)
Display of anything containing liquid fuel or flammable and explosive substances
Display of sharp objects, weapons (even replica weapons)
Demonstrations of any kind i.e. Therapies, massaging
Working electrical appliances other than simple display lighting
Food service of any kind other than sweets, snacks and soft drinks
Heat source of any kind including cookery demonstrations, naked flame or gel burners
Working machinery of any kind even if static
Using power tools during the build-up/breakdown
Have all portable appliances being displayed had a visual inspection or PAT tested.
Any other hazard not identified above which could be a risk
Note this is not an exhaustive list. You are responsible for identifying any aspect of your stand which
could present a hazard
If you have answered NO to all of the above complete sign below. If you have answered YES to any of the above
