Earthquakes and other emergencies
Make sure your display is free of hazards to people visiting the shows. Loose cables must be tucked away and take steps to ensure nothing is placed high and unsecured on your display stand.
The Shows are open to the general public as well as allied health professionals. Keep personal items tucked away.
Should there be any earthquakes or other emergencies during the shows we will follow the advice and requirements of the venue management regarding any evacuations. Take note of evacuation notices in the various venues should these be required.
