Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) law, as well as American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, require annual inspection of all rigging equipment that lifts/suspends equipment overhead in entertainment venues. From counterweight, automated, or statically suspended rigging systems to truss, chain hoists, and the associated hardware, all equipment must be inspected to determine if it is working properly. Documentation of the inspection, as well as the findings, is a requirement of ANSI E1.47-2017. With 20 years of industry experience, Ethan Gilson and Entertainment Rigging Services, LLC. provides expert inspections that not only will help your organization comply with laws/standards, but also ensure that your rigging is safe, that your equipment is working properly, and that the next production in your space will be hazard free. 

All inspections are conducted by our highly trained, experienced, and ETCP certified riggers.
