1. 1Prevent a fallMark the affected fixture unavailable and notify the building lead. A warning on a moving bar alone does not prevent someone from relying on it.
2. 2Document the movementWithout loading the bar, record which end moves and whether the wall finish is cracked, wet or displaced. Photograph the model or installation label if accessible.
3. 3Identify the installationLocate manufacturer mounting requirements and wall construction records. A decorative cover can conceal a larger support problem; tightening visible screws may not correct it.
4. 4Have the mounting repairedAssign the repair to someone qualified to verify the backing and mounting system. Replace damaged components with approved equivalents and assess water damage behind the wall if present.
5. 5Verify before reopeningRecord the installation checks required by the manufacturer and applicable accessibility requirements. Reopen only after the responsible person confirms the mounting is sound.

Record the exact location, observed condition, time, actions taken, person contacted and follow-up owner. Keep unresolved items visible. A completed checklist means the check was performed; it does not automatically mean the equipment passed or is safe.
