So I ask: if I was working on your stage or with your equipment, what would you want me to do? |

At the time of construction, when I first realized a potential issue, I could have refused to participate. Would you expect a third-party stagehand to move away from a task over a safety concern? |

Apparently I was the most up-to-speed electrical guy on hand. Should I have pulled the cable from use at the time I realized it's unsafe use? If so, does that authroity come from my construction of the cable? |

What authority or responsibility does a third-party stagehand have for his work? Stop a show? Pull the disconnect? |

Furthermore, would you expect a third-party stagehand to raise issues with equipment that he did NOT supply? |

Does my responsibility end when I tell my superior? |
Quote: |
What if my superior is ill-informed about the situation at hand...electrical code in this case? |
Quote: |
What if that superior was the one who asked me to make the cable in the first place? Ignorance vs. negligence on their part? |

Worst case scenario, this show goes everywhere, asking third-party labor to do their unsafe dirty work and never owning up to their own equipment. |

John, I’m curious, what was the amperage rating of the motor and upstream circuit breakers, and what was the cable gauge and amperage of the connectors ? |
