Certainly temporary installations at events, construction sites or festivals change location or set-up quickly, creating additional risks of faults or defects. A (re)inspection is then legally required before the installation can be put into use. This prevents fire hazard, injury by electrocution and expensive downtime.   <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold text-h3 leading-[40px] pt-[21px] pb-[2px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">What inspectors check during a temporary plant inspection<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Inspectors work using clear standards and checklists.
