Electrical equipment
Business Doncaster has a reasonable expectation that the electrical equipment brought onsite by exhibitors is intrinsically safe and suitable for use. All exhibitors are expected to satisfy this through their own checks (e.g. portable appliance testing, visual inspections) and health and safety precautions where necessary. Business Doncaster accept no responsibility for the correct use and installation of such equipment and reserve the right to prevent the use of electrical equipment considered unsafe. Exhibitors are requested not to overload sockets and to have consideration of other exhibitors using the same temporary electricity supply so as not to trigger any electrical fuses.
An electrical engineer will install plug sockets at stand locations to be used for one piece of equipment where a purchase of a socket has been made. This is not intended to be used with any further extension cords that increase the number of sockets due to the risk of tripping the socket installations as per their specification. The electrical engineer will perform checks / monitoring to make sure the system is set up correctly. We suggest if you intend to use multiple pieces of equipment several sockets would be needed to accommodate this.
Mechanical equipment
Business Doncaster has a reasonable expectation that any mechanical equipment brought onsite by exhibitors is intrinsically safe and suitable for use, including fold-out displays, stands, lighting rigs, tables, chairs etc.. All exhibitors are expected to satisfy this through their own checks (e.g. visual inspections, testing, and training) and health and safety precautions where necessary.
