Without reliable assistance, venues have no way of knowing whether or not their rigging system is safe and secure. That’s why the SAFER VENUE program begins with an initial rigging inspection and analysis performed by trained and qualified consultants. Accurate knowledge of the state of their current rigging systems is the first line of defense against safety issues caused by wear-and-tear, misuse, or equipment malfunction.

Our OSHA certified independent experts complete a thorough analysis of every rigging component in your venue. By examining each rigging element, improper design, faulty equipment and potentially dangerous situations are discovered before they can become serious or catastrophic. A thorough analysis of their rigging systems along with our experts’ recommendations, are a great way to improve safety reduce liability. The SAFER VENUE program is conscientious to review all types of equipment. Every component that is suspended in your venue involves some type of rigging. That’s why our experts are skilled at assessing the full spectrum of rigging equipment including:

• Manual Counterweight Rigging
• Hemp Systems
• Automated Rigging
• Line Shaft Hoists
• Drum Hoists
• Roll Drops
• Fire Curtains
• Pipe Grids
• Stage Lifts
• Turntables
• Tension Grids
• Curtain Tracks
• Stage Curtains
• Orchestra Shells
• Pit Fillers

The onsite evaluation by our qualified experts is only the start. Once the physical inspection is completed, our independent experts compile a detailed, fully-illustrated report to explain your rigging’s existing condition along with recommendations on how to achieve improved levels of safety. The report includes user-friendly language and descriptions allowing even those with little knowledge of theatrical rigging a clear and concise understanding of any existing and potential problems. The report comes complete with an appendix outlining the clear steps to achieve a 100% safe venue.

If you are not completely certain that every rope, chain, batten, point, and shackle in your venue is 100% safe, navigate to our contact page and submit a Venue Information Form today.

MOBILE INSPECTION & NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

Using criteria determined during the inspection, our team creates a custom SAFER VENUE Inspection form* for each area, department, or piece of equipment you want to track. These can include machinery, fall protection, safety systems, or anything you can imagine.
