What do I do when not marking seismic locations for inspection?

Seismic Bracing, Sway Control & Structural CoordinationHigh-risk starter answer — foreman/qualified-person verification required

Before seismic inspection, make brace locations visible, labeled/locatable, and photo-documented. Do not let inspection items disappear behind ceiling or insulation.

Field checklist

Walk each brace by area/system.
Confirm anchors, clamps, brace direction, labels/tags, and structural attachment points are visible.
Mark room/grid/location for the inspector.
Make a punch list of missing tags, blocked access, corrosion, wrong angle, or unclear details.

Ask foreman

Seismic inspection is coming. Do you want me to run a brace-location walk and send photos/punch items before the inspector arrives?

Do not

Do not modify or copy bracing/rigging from another area just because it looks similar.

Why it matters

Seismic inspection fails are often visibility/documentation failures, not just installation failures.
