Machine Safety

All machinery displayed at Vertikal Days must comply with current health and safety regulations and industry best practice.

Please ensure the following guidelines are followed:

Ensure all machines are in a safe and proper condition, with current certificates, inspections and documentation where required.
All machines must have suitable ground supports (pads, plates etc.) to prevent sinking. This applies to all machinery, including wheeled units.
Exhibitors must have appropriate spillage kits available on their stand in case of hose failure or fluid leaks. Costs may be incurred if ground contamination occurs.
Machines that are elevated must not be left unattended during build-up, event days or breakdown.
When operating machines, booms must not extend over neighbouring stands or over roads and walkways between stands.
If machines are elevated, close attention must be given to prevailing wind speeds. Machines must be lowered to a safe height in high winds.
Ensure all keys and loose items are removed from machines when not in use.
Any flags or banners attached to equipment must be securely fixed so they cannot fall when elevated. Banners must not be suspended from elevated scissor-type machines.
Machines must only be operated by competent and qualified operators (e.g. IPAF PAL Card or other recognised qualification). Passengers must not operate machinery unless supervised by stand personnel.
Machines must not be moved off stands unless in an emergency.
