UPS Availability
A limited number of UPS’s (Uninterruptible Power Supply) are available from Servifira to protect your equipment in the event of a temporary power cut, please contact Servifira for more information and prices.
24h Power Setup
Orders of additional power will be installed with a separate switchboard. Hence, if you need a 24-hour power supply you will have two different switchboards. Each switchboard will be clearly labelled to distinguish between daytime and 24h supplies.
Board Location Required
It is compulsory for any additional switchboards ordered to show a location in the online plan provided during the ordering process.
Dust
- Please ensure all relevant machinery that generates dust is used with a dust bag. All contractors operating machinery without a dust bag will receive a warning. Repeated noncompliance with this regulation will result in construction activity being stopped a period of time
- Under no circumstances shall such machinery be used inside the halls within 48 hours of opening
Noise
Tools which create unsafe levels of noise above 80dB(A) must not be used for long periods inside the halls. The Organiser will monitor noise levels to ensure that the ambient noise levels do not exceed 80dB(A) for long periods.
Workplace Housekeeping
Effective housekeeping can eliminate many workplace hazards as well as ensuring safe work practises. Poor housekeeping creates hazards which can lead to various accidents such as slips, trips and falls which can easily be avoided.
Contractors must ensure:
- Work areas are maintained in a neat and tidy fashion, to ensure a safe work environment
- Halls and floors are kept free of slip and trip hazards
- Waste materials are removed daily - contact servifira to purchase waste products.
- Tools, equipment and materials are stored accordingly
- Gangways and fire exits are always kept clear
The fire prevention policy prohibits the accumulation of waste in the stand and their storage areas, as well as in the corridors and common areas.
