Done when

Loose or damaged rails have been reported and repaired before reliance.

Arrange inspection of loose rails or suspect fixings.

Who this is for

This arranges inspection, not a load-capacity certification.

Why this matters

A suspect rail should not be relied on without assessment.

How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. Observe existing rails safely and ask users about problems.
  2. Record looseness or damage without load-testing them.
  3. Arrange repairs and alternative assistance until use is confirmed safe.
