Inspection of stages: stability and structural safety

For modular, mobile, or inflatable stages, it is essential that everything is assembled according to the regulations and plans. Our inspections include:

Verification of supporting documentation such as assembly plans, structural strength calculations, and fire safety certificates.
Thorough visual inspection of the structure: fasteners, underlayment, tension straps, wind bracing, and overall condition.

Your stage must not only be impressive but also able to withstand wind, loads, and intensive use.

Tent Inspections: Protection Under Every Roof

Tents are often the heart of an event. That’s why we perform:

Document review (fire-retardant canvases, assembly plans).
Visual inspection of the anchoring, structure, and condition of the fabric.

This ensures your visitors are protected from the elements without any safety risks.

Portable power generators: consistently reliable power

On-site electricity must be provided safely and in compliance with the law. We conduct inspections for:

Temporary and portable installations before each commissioning, and annually in accordance with AREI regulations.
Portable power generators, which are frequently used for food trucks, stages, and technical areas.

No risks, no outages—just guaranteed continuity.

Bouncy Castle Inspections: Fun with Peace of Mind

Bouncy castles provide fun for kids at every event, but safety should never be overlooked. Our inspections include:

Risk analysis for every setup—both of the equipment and the installation site. We check the ground surface (flat and soft, such as grass or sand), ensure there is sufficient clear space around the structure, and verify proper anchoring to withstand wind and heavy use.
Verification of the certificate of conformity – Every inflatable must have a valid certificate confirming that the equipment meets European safety standards.

Mobile gas installations: safety under pressure

Gas at events? Only after checking for:

Leak-tightness and safety regulations.
Annual inspections by a recognized or accredited organization.

This helps prevent incidents involving fire or leaks—and ensures a safe environment for both employees and visitors.

Inspection of compressed air systems in Belgium: compressed air tanks and requirements by region

Many companies use compressed air tanks to store compressed air. Because these compressed air systems are under pressure, they pose certain risks. Corrosion or a defective safety valve can have serious consequences for people, the environment, and business continuity. To ensure safety and comply with environmental regulations, companies in Belgium must have their compressed air tanks inspected. However, the specific requirements vary by region: Flanders, Brussels, and Wallonia each have their own regulations. This article provides a clear overview of the most important requirements and key considerations in the three regions.

Emergency Lighting Inspection: When Is It Required in Belgium?

When a building is suddenly plunged into darkness—due to a fire, power outage, or other malfunction—emergency lighting is often the only system left to provide guidance. Yet in practice, we find that organizations in Belgium often overlook the inspection of emergency lighting. Implementation is particularly behind schedule in Wallonia. Yet various regulations explicitly require this inspection, such as the Walloon Tourism Handbook. This creates a risk for many organizations. This is not because organizations ignore safety, but because fire safety requirements are fragmented and difficult to keep track of.

Inspecting Personal Protective Equipment: Why PPE for Fall Protection Is Often Overlooked

Inspecting personal protective equipment (PPE) is an essential part of working safely at heights. Yet in many organizations, safety harnesses, lanyards, and other fall protection PPE tend to fall by the wayside more quickly than larger pieces of equipment. This creates the risk that inspections won’t be performed on time or that an overview of the equipment will be lost.

Changes to AREI 2026

At first glance, the AREI changes taking effect on April 1, 2026, may seem technical. But for you as a prevention consultant, they are primarily strategic. Because in the event of an incident, people don’t just look at the installation. They look at your follow-up procedures and demonstrable compliance. The changes primarily fall into three areas. The question is: Have you already assessed them against your current installation?
