I have an interest in lighting and help with the technical side in a local theatrical group. We were recently in the theatre for the lighting setup and were short of safety bonds for a Martin Mac moving light which is fairly heavy.
We suggested swapping a bond from from a relatively light par can fitting and replace it with two or even three safety chains on just for extra reassurance, but they point blank refused to let us do it for insurance reasons unless each link was rated in the chain...... I can understand health and safety is there for everyone, but there is certain times where you'd think common sense would take lead
