Do not move seismic/sway bracing casually: not using correct hardware for brace assembly.
High-risk starter answer - stop before you change, move, drill, or attach anything tied to seismic bracing, sway control, structural support, crane work, or rigging. Verify the approved detail and the qualified person's direction before acting. Brace hardware is not interchangeable with whatever is close in the gang box.
Ask whenever brace location, anchor, angle, attachment, or clearance changes.
Watch out
Do not modify or copy bracing/rigging from another area just because it looks similar. Do not substitute lighter hardware or missing parts without foreman approval.
Check
Identify whether you are looking at a hanger, brace, restraint, anchor, insert, structural member, rigging gear, or crane/lift-day zone.
Verify the exact hardware, insert, clamp, anchor, washer, nut, and brace component from the approved detail/submittal.
Steps
Identify whether it is a hanger, brace, restraint, or structural attachment.
Check seismic/coordination drawing if available.
Photograph full load path from duct to structure.
Focus on the actual issue: not using correct hardware for brace assembly.
Photograph or mark the condition if someone else needs to approve it.
Say this to your foreman
In Seismic Bracing, Sway Control & Structural Coordination, I'm looking at: Correct hardware for brace assembly not used. What should I verify before I cut, drill, seal, cover, move, or install?
