CONSIDER YOUR STAND DESIGN

 

Stand design that enables social distancing
Plan your stand so that staff and visitors can maintain the recommended distance from one another (minimum distance 1.5 metres). Use distance markers at the stand that are clear and visible.
Calculate the maximum number of visitors that may be at the stand at any one time. A rough rule of thumb is 1 person per 4 square metres of space.

 

Good ventilation
Any meeting rooms must have an open roof (enclosed meetings rooms are not permitted).

 

Surfaces that are easy to clean
All exposed surfaces, such as reception desks, meeting tables and tables where food and drink are consumed must be easy to wipe down and keep clean.


No activities or screens that create queues in the aisles are permitted
Move any activities at least 1.5 metres into the stand to avoid queues forming in the aisles.


Two-storey stands
Any stairs to the upper floor must be sufficiently wide to allow visitors and staff to pass one another with sufficient distance between them. Stairs can also be one way, with separate up and down sections.

WORK IN THE STAND DURING THE FAIR

 

Clear signage with the maximum number of permitted people at the stand
Put up clear signage indicating the maximum number of people permitted at the stand at any one time.

System for monitoring the number of people at the stand
Ensure that there are ongoing checks of the number of people at the stand at any one time. Inform all stand staff how you will limit the number of visitors when the maximum number has been reached. Separate entrances and exits are recommended if you have a larger stand.


Recommended distance also for seating
If you have seating at the stand, this must also adhere to the recommended distance of 1.5 metres between seats. If this is not possible, screens can be installed instead, e.g. plexiglass that goes above head height for seated meetings.


Access to hand sanitiser at your stand
Hand sanitiser stations must be strategically placed at the entrances and exits to the stand, and close to any exposed surfaces. Hand sanitiser must be available to both visitors and stand staff.


Extra cleaning of exposed surfaces
The stand must be cleaned regularly. Particularly exposed surfaces, such as reception desks or meeting tables must be wiped down with particular frequency.


Minimise the risk of infection between visitors
Avoid bowls of sweets, giveaways and the like where visitors pick their own.


Minimise the risk of infection between staff and visitors
