The risk of structural breakage can cause significant damage and even death if the structure breaks while in use.

When should we do the structural inspection?

The inspection must be done ten years after the date of construction and every five years thereafter according to CSA standards.
After any actual, suspected or potential damage sustained during an incident that could potentially adversely affect the stability or structural integrity of the equipment.
