• Stay clear of dock areas, trucks and trailers. These areas can be particularly dangerous.

• Prevent electrical shocks, falling items and damage to materials. Do not attach items or equipment to the drapes or metal framework provided for you booth. This can cause serious injury or damage to materials.

• We discourage children from being in the exhibit hall during installation and dismantle. If children are present during installation and dismantle, they must be supervised by an adult at all times.

• Freeman does not ship or handle Hazardous Materials. If any materials you are shipping to the event fall into this category, please contact Freeman to be sure the material will be allowed at the facility and by the associa¬tion. In addition, if authorized by the facility and the association, you will need to make separate arrangements for the transport and handling of the approved materials, since Freeman will not transport or handle them.
