Action Plan

You need to inspect the bleachers regularly. The CSPC guidelines recommend you inspect bleachers no less than four times a year (quarterly).

Closely examine the amount and type of use the bleachers experience before creating a specific inspection schedule. Along with the regular inspections, each school should hire an engineer to conduct a full structural inspection at least once a year.

During an inspection, you should identify any structural damage or issues that could render them unsafe. It often works well to create a checklist for inspections and then carry it out in a systematic manner.
