Hopefully, everyone here already knows that in live performance, safety is non-negotiable. Whether you're managing a small community theater or a large performing arts center, the integrity of your rigging systems is crucial to the safety of your crew, performers, and audience.

Standards like ANSI E1.4-1 (Manual Counterweight Rigging Systems) and ANSI E1.21 (Temporary Structures) set the bar for what’s expected in terms of safety and functionality. These standards emphasize the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to prevent accidents and ensure that every performance goes off without a hitch.

So Why Schedule a Rigging Inspection?

• Prevent Accidents: Regular inspections can identify potential hazards before they become incidents.
• Compliance: Stay up to date with industry standards and regulations, such as ANSI E1.4-1 and ANSI E1.21, to ensure your systems are safe and compliant.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that your rigging system is in top condition allows you to focus on what really matters—putting on a great show.
• As an integrator, technology manager, producer, or venue owner conducting an annual inspection may be required in specs, by your jurisdiction, or by your insurance company. At a minimum, it will enable you to mitigate risks. Consider a third-party inspector to provide a fresh set of eyes in new installations and annually thereafter.

Don't wait until something goes wrong. Regular inspections are key to maintaining a safe and successful venue.
