Rigging Inspections

Entertainment and theatrical rigging systems move, lift, and support scenery, luminaires, and other equipment in entertainment venues.

Annual inspections of all theatrical and entertainment rigging systems—from high school and college theaters to all professional performing arts centers including TV studios, amphitheaters, arenas, and stadiums—are required to maintain warranties and meet code for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), International Building Code (IBC), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Our thorough rigging inspection includes a FREE dimming inspection. In the event that repairs are necessary, our team can efficiently, swiftly, and economically handle that too.

Protect your liability and keep your facility, performers, audience, and staff safe—contact PORT today.
