Health & Safety

Health & Safety Policy

We aim to comply with safety requirements in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Promoting safe gatherings and workplaces that can accommodate the needs of our customers and employees is not only a key commitment that we take seriously but is also commercially necessary for the success of the company. Our customers rely on us to provide an environment on the event floor which is safe and secure. We recognize that running a public event places a special responsibility on us, and we treat health and safety as a top priority with all participants in mind, including staff, exhibitors, contractors, venue staff, visitors, and members of the public.

Thus, we seek not just to comply with relevant legislation and public health regulations/guidance but to provide a health and safety framework that is continually improving and genuinely supportive of our business objectives.

To ensure that we meet our health and safety strategy objectives, the company will:

• Allocate appropriate resources to meet our health and safety objectives.
• Provide adequate controls for health and safety risks arising from our work activities.
• Consult with our employees, business partners, and clients on matters affecting health and safety.
• Provide and maintain the operating condition of all work equipment.
• Provide and review measures for the safe handling of substances.
• Provide information, instruction, and supervision for employees.
• Ensure employees have adequate training and information to perform their necessary tasks.
• Implement policies and actions to avoid accidents and cases of ill health in the workplace and ensure appropriate medical assistance if required.
• Maintain safe and healthy working conditions and support employee health and well-being.
• Review safety policies and processes as necessary at regular intervals.

The Leadership Team is committed to ensuring that this strategy is implemented at all levels within the company.
