• Various types and frequencies of inspections are addressed, with a specific focus on a safety file.
• Methods for inspecting sporting equipment are explained.
• The responsibilities of personnel (especially supervisors) are defined regarding safety requirements.
• Equipment and facilities must be appropriate for the sport being played.
• The equipment's condition (including age and potential defects) must be surveyed before each training session.
• Personnel must report any equipment defects to their superiors.
• Personnel must ensure equipment is safe and not dangerous to use.
• Specific legal requirements (L421-3 of the consumer code) are outlined concerning products and services.
• Accidents involving sporting equipment are a recurring issue, sometimes with fatal consequences, often caused by lack of maintenance and control measures.
• Legal instruments, like the sport code (article L 322-2), outline the required safety standards for sporting facilities.

• A separate verification/action plan should be prepared, listing who is responsible for actions and their scheduled frequency.
• A safety register should be kept, documenting ongoing control, maintenance, and equipment use.
• A description of the equipment checks for sporting facilities (signage, paths, safety areas, equipment location) is outlined.
• The structural integrity (stability and material condition) and safety of sporting equipment areas (including potential sharp edges, cuts, oxidation, or loose fasteners/rivets) are key elements to be examined for control.
• Specific maintenance schedules and examples (such as for a climbing rope or a PETZL carabiner) are detailed.
