• Stand Build Regulations 
  • Designs must simplify. With build-up time limits in place, it is recommended that stand designs be simplified and pre-fabricated or be modular in construction to facilitate efficient assembling. This will also ensure less manpower onsite.
  • 80% of your stand should be ‘usable space’. The stand design should ensure that a minimum 80% of the total space is usable space. If there is a requirement that will impact this, then the number of people allowed on the stand needs to be adjusted.
  • Enclosed Stands are not permitted
  • Ceilings on stands are not recommended and subject to prior approval.
  • 1m perimeter must be maintained. On the stand, reception counters, furniture, product displays and models are recommended to be set back by a minimum of 1m from the edge of the stand to discourage queueing in aisles and to maintain physical distancing, where possible.

• Logistics, Lifting & Delivery 
  • All deliveries must be made directly to the official lifting contractor. You can either then collect these yourself or arrange for the lifting contractor to deliver to your stand.
  • Consider methods to reduce frequency of deliveries.
  • Encourage drivers to stay in their vehicles where this does not compromise their safety and existing safe working practice.
  • Where possible and safe, having single workers load or unload vehicles.
  • Putting in place procedures to minimise person-to-person contact during deliveries
