Shaft Is Closing Before Riser Inspection and Access Are Complete

Hold close-in until the required duct, supports, joints, dampers, access, penetration details, and inspections are complete and documented.

Stop if

• The shaft close-in is scheduled, but the riser supports and damper access have not received the required inspection. Can we hold this area and confirm the close-in release?

Watch out

• Do not rely on photos as permission to bury uninspected or incomplete work.

Check

• Confirm the current inspection status and open corrections.
• Verify damper and access-door operation.
• Photograph concealed supports, joints, and penetrations from durable references.
• Check that labels and access locations will remain usable.
