Rules & Regulations

In order to reduce the number of injuries from trips, slips and falls caused by platform edges at Exhibitions it is recommended that all platforms whereby the visitor can gain access to a stand have a gently sloping non-slip edge. There should be no sharp corners or metal edging if at all possible. If required, a separate ramp for disabled  access should still be incorporated into any such ramped edge at a maximum 1:12 gradient (see Ramps-Disabled Access section below).  Platforms must provide access to the venue floor service trenches underneath.
