Venue Systems Health Check - a structured, single-visit on-site review of your stage systems by an experienced TSA technician, delivering a baseline asset register, a condition summary, gap identification and a prioritised action plan

Compliance & Service · Venue Systems Health Check

Know exactly where you stand. One visit.

A structured on-site review of your stage systems, carried out by an experienced TSA technician. You walk away with a baseline asset register, a plain-English condition summary, the servicing and compliance gaps, and a prioritised action plan - diagnostic, not regulatory. We are here to make running your venue easier, not harder.

What a Health Check covers

Your stage systems.
Not your whole building.

"Systems" is deliberate: the stage equipment that lifts, flies and holds load. Here is what we review.

Fly systems

Counterweight line sets - battens, cradles, hauling and lift lines, sheaves, blocks and rope locks.

See what you get

Powered hoists

Electric chain hoists and pile (winch) hoists - operation observed where possible, condition and service history reviewed.

See what you get

Rigging & lifting hardware

Slings, shackles, chain, wire rope and terminations - assessed against published discard criteria.

See what you get

Height safety

Fall-arrest harnesses, lanyards and connectors - condition and inspection currency reviewed.

See what you get

Stage machinery & tracks

Curtain tracks, powered machinery and the control and safety systems that drive them.

See what you get

Static rigging

Dead-hung bars, fixed grids and the suspension points your load hangs from - condition and documentation reviewed.

See what you get

Not sure what is hanging above your stage, or when it was last inspected? and we will start with what you already have.

What a Health Check is

What you have, and
what to do next.

A structured, single-visit on-site review of your stage and overhead systems by an experienced TSA technician. Diagnostic, not regulatory: a clarity tool, not an inspection, so you know what you have before you spend. It is the Identify front door to the full Compliance & Service programme.

What a Health Check does for your venue

Four jobs, one visit.

Know where you stand

A baseline register of every stage system, captured in one place - not a guess.

Hold WHS evidence

Documented evidence of what has been assessed and what is outstanding - duty of care you can show.

Catch failures early

Spot the worn rope lock or tired sling on a quiet Tuesday, not in show week.

Plan rectifications

A prioritised action plan that turns "something needs attention" into a budget you can defend.

What you get

A report you can
act on, and defend.

A Venue Systems Health Check is not a verbal "looks fine", and not a formal inspection. You get a practical document set: what you have, its condition, the gaps and what to do next.

How one visit runs
  1. Step 01

    Assets

    Walk the stage and overhead systems. Record what is installed, where it sits and how it is identified.

  2. Step 02

    Condition

    Note condition across rigging, drapery, mechanical and hoisting systems.

  3. Step 03

    Operation

    Watch it run where possible: powered hoists, tracks and stage machinery.

  4. Step 04

    Records

    Review service history and last-serviced status, where known.

  5. Step 05

    Gaps

    Set out what is overdue, missing or needs attention, ranked by priority and risk.

Baseline asset registerA structured record of your stage and overhead systems - what is installed, where it sits, how it is identified.Register
Condition summaryA plain-language overview of condition across rigging, drapery, mechanical and hoisting systems, with key observations documented.Summary
Gap identificationServicing and compliance gaps set out clearly - what is overdue, what is missing, what needs attention.Gaps
Prioritised action planRecommended next steps ordered by priority and risk - a defensible basis for budgeting, scheduling and decision-making.Plan
Per-item register detailEach entry captures the item, its location, last-serviced status where known, a condition note and a recommended next action.Per item
What it is notNot a formal inspection, not certification, not a substitute for annual servicing - a clarity tool before you commit budget.Scope

One visit tells you exactly where you stand.

It is the Identify front door: a structured on-site review that maps your stage systems, captures the gaps and hands you a prioritised plan - diagnostic, not regulatory.

Or keep it current with the Programme

The Venue Systems Health Check tells you where you are; the Service & Inspection Programme keeps you there. Formal inspection, load testing and certification live there, commissioned in the right places.

Your stage and overhead systems: hoisting and lifting, fixed overhead rigging, curtain tracks and drapery, winches and stage machinery. The "Systems" qualifier scopes it to stage equipment.
Four practical deliverables: a baseline asset register, a plain-language condition summary, clear identification of servicing and compliance gaps, and a prioritised action plan ordered by priority and risk.
No, and that is deliberate. The Venue Systems Health Check is a review, diagnostic not regulatory: no certification, no compliance sign-off, and we cannot shut your venue down. It gives you clarity first, so any inspection or service work you commission lands in the right places.
When asset condition is unclear, service history is incomplete, or you want clarity before larger works. For most venues it is the start: the baseline an ongoing Service & Inspection Programme then maintains.
An experienced TSA technician, in-house, Australia wide. The findings go to you and no one else - nothing is reported elsewhere, nothing escalated.
