Complex Structures
Complex Structures require approval according to the Local Authority safety requirements. These include:
- Stands over 4m in height
- Double-Decker stands/Stands incorporating a Staircase
- Any stand with a platform, over 600mm above floor level, to which persons have access
If your stand falls into these parameters it is classed as a complex structure and you are advised to contact the following independent engineering company, who will deal with the Local Authority on your behalf:

N.B. All complex structures need plans approved by an independent engineer who must provide a report, copied to the organisers, to say that the stand is safe. *The inspection report should be shown, if requested, to the Health and Safety Officer on-site. *Proof that this independent engineer has approved the stand design should be sent to the organisers by 6th November, to enable them to send copies to the Venue. The same engineer needs to do an on-site inspection of the stand once it is built.
