Stop if

Ask before moving anchors, changing spacing, deleting supports, drilling structure, or altering trapeze/seismic layout.

Watch out

Do not drill anchors into a clash that has not been coordinated.

Check

Photograph the clash
Mark the location
Ask which system moves before drilling

Steps

Identify the support type and duct being carried.
Check approved detail or foreman direction.
Verify anchor/hardware and attachment point.
Focus on the actual issue: rod/strap interferes with ceiling grid.
Photograph or mark the condition if someone else needs to approve it.

Say this to your foreman
