Field checklist

Do not disturb the support if it may be compromised.
Photo rust/pitting/staining, missing tag, and supported load.
Keep people/work out from underneath if directed.
Ask whether material/coating/replacement hardware must be verified.

Ask foreman

This overhead support/brace has corrosion/pitting and the tag is missing at [location]. Do you want this held for safety/engineering verification?

Do not

Do not keep working under suspicious overhead support hardware like it is just ugly metal.

Why it matters

Corrosion can quietly weaken supports before anything looks dramatic.
