RISK ASSESSMENT

It is essential that all members of staff working on your stand at the Event are fully aware of possible risks that can occur and ensure that as soon as a risk is identified, a member of The Careers Group staff (Fair Liaison Officer, Porter or Organisers) is notified.

The Business Design Centre requires all exhibitors to complete a Risk Assessment form which they will send to you directly shortly before the event. All exhibitors should complete and return this form. If you have any queries please contact Victoria Korley on 020 7288 6707 or email victoriak@businessdesigncentre.co.uk.

Risks can occur at any time during the event and it is your responsibility to be vigilant at all times to ensure the safety of your own staff and visitors to the fair.

Preventative Measures
Exhibitors can stop accidents from happening by ensuring they and their staff are vigilant at all times. The following precautions can be taken to avoid accidents.

• Don't leave boxes lying in walkways. Stack neatly against the stand wall or underneath the table.
• Ensure the stand looks safe and secure and report any problems to a member of The Careers Group staff
• Take care when using and setting up electrical equipment; ensure the person setting the equipment up is qualified to do so
• Tape down all cables securely
• Clear all rubbish away before the Event is open to visitors (porters can help with this, please ask a member of The Careers Group staff)
• DO NOT leave your stand unmanned
• Watch your surroundings - risks can develop at any time
