Inspection

Has it Been Over a Year Since Your Last Inspection?

There are endless events you can hold on your fixed and retractable seating, from sporting events, assemblies, graduations, to concerts. Yet every year, lawsuits are filed due to safety devices that were not properly maintained, causing injury.


According to both the NFPA 101 and ICC 300, annual inspections are required to maintain code compliance, and safety standards.


Inspections and service are completed by one of our KSSG Factory-Certified technicians, using factory-certified parts and products designed to meet all applicable codes.


Our inspection checks the operation of the bleacher stack and all its components, identifies any potential safety or service issues, and provides you with a detailed inspection report with any recommendations.


Contact us to schedule your inspection for this year.
