Temporary event in a tent? The necessity of inspections #

Whether it's the vibrant atmosphere of summer festivals and concerts or the cosiness of Christmas and New Year's markets, temporary event structures are indispensable. However, behind the fun lies a strict legal obligation and a great responsibility for you as an organiser. The safety of visitors and the continuity of your event depend on the stability of the tents, stages and grandstands used.

When should a temporary structure be inspected?

Temporary structures must not pose a danger to the public or your staff. That is why a legal inspection is mandatory when the structure is put into use or whenever it is rebuilt.

Who should inspect a temporary structure?

These essential checks may only be carried out by accredited inspection bodies, such as Vinçotte.

What are the consequences of negligence in inspecting a temporary structure, such as a tent?

It is the responsibility of the owner or site manager to have these inspections carried out in a timely manner.

If this obligation is not met, you risk having the installation shut down by the competent authorities due to serious safety violations.

In short, correct and timely inspections help prevent accidents and guarantee the continuity of your activity.
