RISK ASSESSMENTS Risk assessments are an essential tool for planning how health and safety will be controlled in the work place. It is simply a careful examination of what in your work could cause harm to people so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. Every exhibitor must undertake a risk assessment prior to the exhibition, identifying the hazards present on site and the ways in which you will minimise and control these hazards. The RISK ASSESSMENT FORM needs to be completed and a copy returned to the organisers by 1st March 2014 or you can submit your own comprehensive risk assessment where appropriate. It is advised that exhibitor’s follow the HSE recommended five steps as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Look for the hazards Decide who could be harmed and how Evaluate the risk Record the findings Suggest control measures Review your findings Hazard means anything that has the potential to cause harm. For example, working at height, with electricity, whether lifting, or if slipping or tripping might be an issue. Whether working with fire, chemicals, dust (e.g. from grinding) manual handling, noise, poor lighting, vehicles, cooking, food preparation, food sampling or alcohol. Risk is the chance, high or low, that someone will be harmed by the hazard. All exhibiting companies/participants are responsible for their staff, their contractors, sub-contractors and visitors on and around their stand from the first day of build up through to the last day of break down. Space only exhibitors/participants can best manage health and safety onsite by appointing a representative from their company to oversee every element of their exhibition stand construction and dismantle during the build up and break down – a planning supervisor or foreman with specific responsibility for managing health and safety including the provision of proper information and instructions, training, guarding and supervision of all parties concerned throughout the show. The planning supervisor will be responsible for undertaking a risk assessment and method statements from your contractors before build up. Please note that if the planning supervisor will only be present during build up and break down then a senior person must be appointed to control health and safety matters during the open period. So all space only stand holders must supply separate risk assessments for build up and break down as well as for the open period. SECURITY Security covers show build up, open and break down periods – no goods will be allowed on to the site before this time. Although every reasonable security precaution is taken through the build up, open period and break down. The organisers cannot be held responsible for any loss damage or accidents which may occur to any exhibitors or contractors property or personnel. We strongly recommend that any small or attractive items be kept under constant supervision and removed each evening. Your stand should never be left unmanned at any time while the halls are open. The organisers will not be responsible or liable for theft or injury – please see Insurance section. Exhibitors are reminded to be particularly vigilant during the following periods: the final hours of build up, the first 30mins after the show closes each day and the first 2 hours of break down. The following points should be carefully noted: During build up: Once your exhibits have been placed on your stand, it is essential that the stand be manned at all times. Though the organisers will do all they can to minimise risk, you are advised to take precautions yourself. Exhibitors needing extra security should contact the organisers. During open hours: All exhibitors and visitors, in the interests of their own safety and security, may be searched and their bags searched on entering or leaving the building.
