You MUST submit a valid copy of your Public Liability Insurance covering the dates of the show to the event technical team along with associated Health and Safety risk assessment and method statement. Please submit the following documents to [email protected] by no later than 12 September 2014: -Public Liability Insurance -Risk Assessment -Method Statement Five Steps to Risk Assessments Why: a risk assessment will protect your workers and your business, as well as complying with law. When: a risk assessment should be in place before you or any other employees conduct work which may present a risk of injury or ill-health. Who: a person within the organisation who is competent at hazard identification, has the ability to categorise and evaluate risks and put suitable controls in place to reduce risks. There are no fixed rules on how a risk assessment should be carried out, but there are a few general principles that should be followed. Five Steps to risk assessments can be followed to ensure that your risk assessment is carried out correctly, these five steps are: 1. Identify the hazards 2. Decide who might be harmed and how 3. Evaluate and assess the risks and decide on control measures 4. Record your findings and implement them 5. Review your assessment and update if necessary A HAZARD is a situation in the workplace that has the potential to harm the Health and Safety of people and/or to damage equipment. A RISK is the potential for harm to be realised and the likelihood and severity of this happening. 16 Footer details Health and Safety 17 The Skills Show Exhibitor Manual 2014 The Skills Show Exhibitor Manual 2014 Step 1: Identify the hazards Psychological hazards are created during work related stress or a stressful environment. In order to identify hazards you need to understand the difference between a ‘hazard’ and ‘risk’. A hazard is ‘something with the potential to cause harm’ and a risk is ‘the likelihood of that potential harm being realised’. -Noise Hazards can be identified by using a number of different techniques such as walking round the workplace, or asking your employees. Hazards are generally of five types: Physical hazards are conditions or situations that can cause the body physical harm or intense stress. Physical hazards can be both natural and human derived elements. -Temperature -Fatigue -Stress Radiation hazards causes harm to the body by affecting the cell directly. There are basically two types of radiation: ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. -Microwave -Uneven surfaces -X-Ray machine -Small or inadequate walkways -Computers -Blocked walkways -Wireless internet -Unguarded machinery or work areas -Mobile phones -Exposure to electro-magnetic fields -Incorrect wiring Look for the hazards: -Loose surface conditions -What equipment, materials and chemicals will be used? -Wet surface conditions -How much noise and dirt/dust will there be created? -What mechanical movements and lifting operations have to be considered? Chemical hazards are substances that can cause harm or damage to the body, property or the environment. Chemical hazards can be both natural and human derived origin. -Paint -Sawdust -Cleaning chemicals -Oil -Solutions -How waste will be stored and disposed of? -Are there any chemical or hazardous substances being used? -Are there any electrical installations? -What hazardous vehicles/equipment do you have? -Any working at height or risks from activities at height? -Can other contractors, staff or visitors harm themselves as a result of your contracted activity? -What fire prevention measures will be put in place for your contracted activity? -Will anyone be undertaking any heavy lifting? Biological hazards are biological agents that can cause harm to the human body. Some biological agents can be viruses, parasites, bacteria, food, fungi, and foreign toxins. -Plants -Animals -Are any power/hand tools being used? -Will there be any hot works? -Is there anything that could pose a slip/trip hazard? -Humans 18 Health and Safety Health and Safety 19 The Skills Show Exhibitor Manual 2014 The Skills Show Exhibitor Manual 2014 Step 2: Who will be affected by the work and be most at risk? How might they be harmed? Once you have identified a number of hazards you need to understand who might be harmed and how, such as ‘people working in the event halls’, or members of the public. Think of other contractors, visitors and staff on or near your area. Safe working depends on cooperation, understanding and the exchange of information between all applicable areas, so take this into account and consider necessary precautions on every aspect of the work being carried out, which may include training and the provision of relevant information or equipment. Step 3: Evaluate and assess the risks and decide on control measures Once you have done this adequately, you can then decide on the appropriate action you are going to take or are needed to eliminate them. Ask yourself: Can the hazard or risk be removed completely or done in a different way. If the risk cannot be eliminated, can it be isolated, controlled or reduced and how. Can protective measures be taken that will protect the entire workforce on site? Protective work wear (PPE) should be considered as the last step to take and may not be the only solution. For simple processes it is often sufficient to award a straightforward risk rating of; Low, Medium or High Step 4: Record your findings Write down the findings in the risk assessment and by recording the findings it shows that you have identified the hazards, decided who could be harmed and how, and also shows how you plan to eliminate the risks and hazards. Step 5: Review your assessment and update as and when necessary This allows you to learn by experience and take account of any unusual conditions or changes that occur throughout. Update the Risk Assessment as and when required, such as if new work practices equipment are brought in or new staff employed or the working environment changes in any way. Ordinary handwritten changes are quite acceptable, but remember to implement the changes required for next time. 20 Health and Safety Footer details 21 The Skills Show Exhibitor Manual 2014 5.

Arrival The NEC Birmingham is a large site, so to assist we would recommend the following areas for arrival to ensure you don’t have to walk the length of the building. On foot / taxi drop-off The Skills Show is being held in the Pavilions and Halls 1 to 4; the closest entry point is the Piazza entrance as you enter the building. The Skills Show will be on your left. Train / plane The NEC Birmingham is situated adjacent to Birmingham International Rail Station; once you have arrived at the station take the stairs or lift from any platform up to the station interchange. The entrance to the NEC Birmingham is on the right hand side as you exit the station and is clearly signposted. Continue to walk along the covered walkway called the Bridgelink where you can then follow signs to reach your exact destination. Birmingham International Airport (BHX) is situated next to the NEC Birmingham; it will take just minutes to get to the NEC Birmingham from the airport. If you are on foot follow the signs to the Air-Rail Link which leaves the airport from the first floor of Terminal Once you have stepped off the Air-Rail at Birmingham International Station continue straight ahead through the concourse onto the NEC Bridgelink. A to Z 23 The Skills Show Exhibitor Manual 2014 The Air-Rail Link is a free, speedy and convenient way to travel between the Airport Passenger Terminals, Birmingham International Station and the NEC Birmingham. The Air-Rail Link leaves the airport from the upper level of Terminal 1. It connects the airport passenger terminals to Birmingham International Station. The NEC Birmingham is connected to the rail station via a covered bridge link. Audio visual Our nominated contractor Blitz has the resources and capabilities to meet your audio visual requirements.

The Skills Show Exhibitor Manual 2014 Carpet Depending on who you are your area may or may not be carpeted. Please refer to the relevant ‘Who Are You?’ section in this manual. The colour of the aisles around your stand will depend on which sector your stand is located within. Any damage or spillages onto the venue floor will result in the exhibitor being charged by the venue. The event technical team therefore requests that all exhibitors use a suitable GES floor covering for their area and planned activities. Catering Refreshments are not included as part of your exhibition stand, but there are a range of catering outlets at the NEC Birmingham where you will be able to buy food and drink. Menu and prices will vary to suit all tastes and budgets. Limited catering outlets will be available during build-up and breakdown. Badges To help make things easier FoodToYou can provide a catering service directly to your stand. Click here for their order form. The person co-ordinating your activities should register your stand and known personnel. All registered personnel will need to collect their badges on site; these should be worn at all times during the build-up, open days and break-down. We will refuse access to anyone not wearing their badge. Cleaning Please click here to access the registration system. In the build-up to The Skills Show we will provide further information that will help you plan your exhibition. This will include information on collecting entrance passes and joining instructions, including travel and parking information. All stands, gangways and public areas will be vacuumed each night. We ask that any rubbish be placed in a rubbish bag and left within the aisle at the end of each day. If you have any specific waste disposal needs please contact the event technical team. Competitor policy Balloons Please obtain prior permission from the event technical team if you wish to have balloons as part of your stand. Helium balloons are permitted with written permission from The Skills Show, but these must be tethered and secured.

This is to ensure safety and avoid congestion. As soon as the first visitors are through the door, absolutely no bulky items can be transported around the aisles until after visitors leave. Bulky items are considered to be anything bigger than a box sized item which can be easily carried by hand. Therefore please arrive early to ensure this is completed before visitor opening hours.
