Health & Safety Manual and Induction Form
Health & Safety
As you will be aware the Health & Safety landscape has changed for NZ workplaces. The Covi SuperShow and the Auckland Showgrounds are no different and in general, there has been a significant increase in expectations. Please familiarise yourself with the following information so there are no surprises come show time:
- Please keep the aisles clear at all times – the walkways will be very busy. Any rubbish may be left at the front of your stand (but within your stand boundary) and we will collect this regularly.
- NO smoking is allowed in the halls.
- LPG must be turned off (unless you have had prior approval – if so, please ensure you have a fire extinguisher readily available and visible nearby).
- ALL staff must be wearing closed-toed shoes on build-up and break-down – no exceptions.
- Children under 16 are not permitted on-site during the build-up or break-down – no exceptions.
- Hi-Vis Safety vests must be worn at all times – no exceptions.
- All electrical equipment must be tested and tagged.
- Security will be patrolling the area 24 hours a day for the duration of the show and the Pack-In.
- All vehicles entering halls must use hazard lights and limit their speed to a walking pace.
- All unloading and stand building are to be completed by Thursday 7pm.

Please ensure all your team are in Hi-Vis for all of Pack In and Pack Out. You will not be allowed in the Halls or the Outside Area without it. There will be no exceptions to this.
Induction Form
A signed induction form is required from each exhibiting company. They are responsible for ensuring all staff under their control are compliant with all Health & Safety regulations.
