Wowzers just watching this video of uk tek and seeing a bundle of wires sitting in a puddle of water. Can’t be good.
especially with the amount of newly redundant engineers who have been joining the Constabulary in droves in the last few years, particularly in this area – and that coppers also have it drummed into their heads to be careful about stuff like airwave radio chargers, laptops and any other kit they use.
Whats worse is that whoever made the film appears to have gone to some trouble of editiing it properly and putting it on youtube, and they could have at least removed this shot. This sort of thing can’t get folk immediately arrested but could be used in a civil court case and as publicity material to prove that that these events are potentially unsafe.
people have been killed at licensed venues (albeit in foreign nations mostly in Southern Europe with less harsh safety rules) from badly wired up installations.
plus the proper waterproof housings are perfectly affordable to a crew who can afford digital mixing equipment..
