A competent person should inspect the temporary bracing arrangements and verify in writing the stability of the structure when the bracing is first installed.
A competent person should regularly assess the stability of the structure while temporary bracing is required. Inspections should be done at regular intervals, based on a risk assessment that takes into account the structure’s condition, environmental factors and length of time the bracing has been in place.
In addition, an inspection should occur as soon as possible after an extreme weather event or other incident that could affect stability.
