The busy fair calendar in Turkey requires the participants and decorator companies to assemble and disassemble their stands within limited period. The personnel of the decorator companies having limited professional qualities and working in intensive tempo may be fair sed to occupational accidents. Association of Exhibition and Stand Designers (SSTD) whose sensitivity regarding work and worker safety has been known since then and Rotaforte Fair Organization, the partner of UBM which is one of the most important fair organization companies of the world decided to cooperate for a safer fair assembly process. The committees under the presidency of Rotaforte Fair Services Manager Arzu Eroğlu and SSTD Vice Chairman of Board of Management Kemalettin Solmaz reached a consensus regarding creation of a working environment compatible with the international standards and work safety laws determined as a result of a serial of negotiations. Accordingly, SSTD management will inspire the companies representing the sector regarding the compatibility to the determined standards and will supervise whether the rules are followed. UBM Retoforte Fair Organization will advise SSTD to conclude stand contracts with the member companies by warning the risks of working with the unqualified decorator companies. Kemalettin SOLMAZ made statements to our site regarding the issue said that; “We know that our country does not have good past regarding occupational accidents. As our fair sector is working with an intensive tempo and in an environment requiring care it is important for the companies to follow the rules of occupational safety. Unfortunately, the steps taken on this issue has been remained at the level of wish until today. Therefore, we decide to cooperate with UBM Rotaforte fair organization at the international quality and for safer working environment.
