Safety measures

CORFERIAS provides exhibitors and attendees with a general security service, however, as it is a public event, it is impossible to guarantee the individual security of each stand. This means that each exhibitor is responsible for any decorative items, equipment, advertising material, or other objects at their stand. Therefore:

ALL EXHIBITORS MUST BE AT THEIR STAND FROM THE MOMENT PAVILIONS OPEN AT 08:00 HRS UNTIL THE CLOSING TIME AT 19:30 HRS. PAVILIONS OPEN AT 8:00 HRS ON ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY DAYS

A list of important safety recommendations has been included below. Any safety issues that may affect you or CORFERIAS can be avoided by following these reco mmendations.

  • The International Business and Exhibition Center, CORFERIAS Bogotá, employs global security at fairs and events. Each Exhibitor is responsible for their goods and belongings from the moment they enter the exhibition grounds, until their departure on the last day. Therefore, the Exhibitor must hire sufficient personnel for supervision, and strictly comply with opening and closing times during assembly, exhibition and disassembly stages.
  • CORFERIAS is not responsible for any goods that enter the pavilion at the time of assembly. In exceptional cases where it is necessary to enter goods during assembly, the exhibitor will be in charge of guaranteeing that the process is safe, he/she must obtain the assembly manager’s approval, to enter the pavilion.
  • You must arrive at the opening times established for the pavilions, to avoid irregularities at the stand, for which neither CORFERIAS, nor the Events Organizers, will be responsible, in any way. Should you arrive before the designated pavilion opening times for any reason, you will not be allowed to enter, given that opening and closing hours must be strictly complied with.
  • In the event that the exhibitor hires cleaning staff for the areas leased, you must request authorization to enter the CORFERIAS Security Department. CORFERIAS reserves the right to admit people or not.
  • The exhibitor must not leave the stand unattended whilst the exhibition grounds are open to the public, as any eventuality arising from this event will be entirely their responsibility.
  • It is recommended that you carefully monitor your belongings, including wallets, calculators, briefcases, laptops, tablets, projectors, cell phones, jewelry, etc., during the assembly, exhibition and disassembly hours.
  • All persons, without exception, will be searched by security personnel at the closure of each pavilion.
  • It is advisable that any staff working with the exhibitor during the assembly, exhibition or disassembly be trusted fully by the exhibitor.
  • Before the pavilion closes, the exhibitor must make sure that their stand has been closed securely. They must not forget their personal belongings upon departure and they must also ensure that all the safety measures are in place for the stand.
  • If the exhibitor experiences any safety-related difficulties, they may approach the safety supervisor or pavilion supervisor, who will be happy to help.
  • Exhibitors must inform the supervisors immediately, if they see any suspicious persons during pavilion opening or closing times, or during the exhibition.
  • Exhibitors must carry their credentials at all times during their visit at the exhibition grounds – assembly; exhibition and disassembly.
  • Please be reminded that staff must wear the necessary safety gear whilst carrying out the assembly and disassembly (helmets, harnesses, safety goggles, gloves, etc.), in addition to showing valid social security card (E.P.S. and A.R.L.).
  • If an exhibitor decides to hire equipment from companies external to CORFERIAS they must ensure that the hired gear is safe (harnesses and dedicated staff at all times).
  • Documents certifying your participation at the event (credentials, duly completed DIAN forms and the certificate of good standing issued by ANATO) will be requested at each entrance upon entering to perform the assembly and disassembly at CORFERIAS. Staff must fulfil the requirements formulated by the Security Department, including those related to credentials and searches.
  • CORFERIAS does not provide vehicles for the transportation of goods during assembly, exhibition and disassembly, the exhibitor must know who will perform this task and the vehicles used.
  • The haulage service for the internal transportation of goods is provided by staff that will be duly identified and in uniform. CORFERIAS is not responsible for any goods transported using this service, meaning that the Exhibitor must accompany his/her goods.
  • Any official workers hired by the exhibitors to conduct electrical work must present their Electrical Technician accreditation, issued by the National Council of Electrical Technicians (CONTE in Spanish).
  • Smoking is totally prohibited inside venues or enclosed areas according to Agreement 79 of 2003.
  • All waste (organic, plastic, glass) must be disposed of in an orderly manner in the places designated for this purpose, according to their characteristics.
  • Should any emergencies arise, they must be reported by the exhibitor or his/her employees to the Safety Supervisor and the Monitor by calling extensions 5545 – 5546.
  • During the Assembly and Disassembly stages, each stand must have enough staff for the supervision of the stand.
