1.0 EXHIBIT SAFETY

Scrap Expo is committed to providing a safe and healthy exhibit for every person in attendance. By planning an efficient and safe event all those who attend will benefit from a safe environment.

Prevention of accidents is the key to any safety plan and everybody must work with this in mind. It takes everybody’s cooperation and alertness to assure the live demonstration will result with no accidents, incidents and most important no injuries. It is our ultimate goal to accomplish a live demonstration in the safest possible manner and therefore the safety policies will apply to everyone entering the site.

We have procedures and guidelines to achieve a safe event and have put an on-site team in charge of assuring a safe site. All attendees at this exhibit should immediately notify their nearest vendor or staff member if they are not familiar with our procedures and guidelines and if at any time, they feel unsafe, recognize an issue or simply would like additional information or instructions.

Although Scrap Expo strives to assure a safe environment it is still everyone’s responsibility to act in a safe manner and help support the guidelines that are in place for everyone’s safety. If you have not been provided an introduction to the procedures required on site, feel additional explanations are needed or have not been provided personal protective equipment (PPE) for your time at the live event you may not enter the demonstration area. See a staff member to resolve these issues. We count on each and everyone’s awareness to look out for themselves and those around them.
