The eGuide is essential reading for venues, organisers, exhibitors and supplier companies.  The objective of the eGuide is to provide clear and straightforward guidance for achieving common standards of health, safety and operational planning, management and on-site conduct across UK event venues. 

Amongst other areas, the eGuide provides guidance on areas such as risk assessment, build up and breakdown and electrical testing.

Recognised as the industry’s best practice document, the eGuide is continually reviewed by working industry professionals who represent the best advice currently available, and who themselves have to work within the guidelines in their own professional capacities.

eGuide adoptee

The eGuide is a best practice document bringing together guidance for achieving common standards of health, safety and operational planning, management and on-site conduct for events at all participating UK AEV member venues. The eGuide is currently adopted by 18 venues, who meet twice a year to keep the guidance up-to-date.

New for 2019 : The eGuide adoptee logo will now feature the year of confirmed usage. This ensures clear visibility that a venue is following the current version of the eGuide. A cycle of re-approval will commence in September 2019.
