As reported yesterday by Events Industry News, the Health and Safety Executive has agreed that the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2007 is not a useful regulatory framework for temporary structures and marquees used in the events industry. All HSE require is that events industry organisers and contractors comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act and its subsidary regulations.
The Amazing Tent Company is a member of MUTA, the trade association for the UK temporary structures and technical textiles industries, and worked closely with them to prepare the Code of Practice from which the above policy is outlined.
