Stand Construction

Shell Scheme stands that have a 'special' build within the confines of their stand that are over 2.5m must supply copies of the stand design including elevation drawing, layouts and materials used, assembly information and dimensions to the operations manager. All space stands must provide walling to a min 2.5m high to a max of 3.999m and ensure the stand is built to be structurally sound.

Stands 4m and over require additional approval with supporting engineer sign off and safe work method statements.

Emergency Procedures

In the event of a partial or complete evacuation of the exhibition halls, exhibitor staff are requested to muster in the areas directed by the venue security staff.

If partial or complete evacuation of the exhibition halls is necessary, Reed Exhibitions strongly recommends that exhibitors' staff also leave the building as Reed Exhibitions will not be responsible for any damage, loss or injury howsoever caused. This is necessary so that RX Global can readily contact exhibitors to man their stands when the emergency is over.

If it proves to be necessary to clear people away temporarily from only a section of the building, then the evacuation public address announcement will be made.

The security manager wished to stress the importance of a constant check being made on the contents of exhibitors' stands to see that no unidentifiable packages, cases, or bags have been left lying around.

In any case of doubt the article should not be touched, but the control room advised via the organisers. When security is satisfied that there is no danger, an announcement will be made.

Water and Waste

There are taps around the grounds if water is required, exhibitors would have to provide their own hose. No discharge of any waste is permitted on the exhibitions site under any circumstances. You will need a licensed plumber to connect these services for your stand.
