A bill under consideration in Campinas proposes safety rules for soccer goals used in shared sports facilities. The proposal, introduced by city councilwoman Debora Palermo, seeks to prevent accidents caused by the structures tipping over or shifting.
The bill requires proper anchoring, documented periodic inspections and an immediate halt to use in the event of structural damage or corrosion. It also calls for signs warning of the risks of climbing on, rocking or handling the goals without authorization, as well as protocols for transporting and storing portable models. The rules cover public and private facilities, such as schools, clubs, residential complexes and temporary events.
