Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Under the directive of the Ontario Ministry of Labour all personnel entering construction areas must wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) consisting of:
- High visibility safety vests
- Steel toe shoes
- CSA approved hard hat (for overhead work areas only)
This is a safety measure to protect display houses, exhibitors and any contractors in areas of freight movement and active mobile lifts. As an Exhibitor, it is your responsibility to inform all members of your team requiring access to the exhibit floors of this requirement and that they must wear PPE. This includes any Exhibitor Appointed Contractors and Shipping/Courier companies you have hired. IMS will not be providing PPE Equipment for exhibitors/EACs to borrow.
- From the commencement of the move-in or move-out until all work activity has been completed, all workers will be required to wear Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved “green patch” safety footwear (toe and sole protection) and a CSA-approved hardhat. Please plan to provide your own approved protective gear.
- As required by the CSA regulation, workers will be denied access to the exhibit floor without the appropriate protective equipment.
- It is strongly recommended that you limit the number of your staff on the exhibit floor during this time to only those absolutely necessary to set up your booth.
