Action Plan
You need to inspect the bleachers on a regular basis. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires that bleachers be thoroughly inspected at least quarterly by trained personnel, and that any problems be corrected immediately.
Regular bleacher inspection will help prevent injuries.
- Take a closer look at the amount and type of use the bleachers experience before creating an exact 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 that could make the bleachers unsafe. It often works well to create a checklist for inspections and then carry it out in a systematic manner.
