I was hired a few weeks ago at a new theatre in London Ontario that uses very old fixtures that are in various states of disrepair. As I was investigating lamps that appeared to have blown I caused a small electrical fire in one of the par 64s that we had as house lighting. Upon inspection of other pars in the house there are quite a few that are in serious need of rewiring.
I have been asked to rewire all of the pars that need it by the owner of the theatre, but I am unsure if I should be the one to do it strictly out of a liability concern. I know that I can do the job properly and safely, but I am more than a little concerned about my personal liability as well as the legality of me doing so.
has anyone else had this concern come up and what is the best solution.
the theatre in question is the London City Music Theatre it has just this month celebrated it's 1 year anniversary and the operator and staff really don't know how to run a theatre but they are picking it up slowly. The technical side is falling behind the business side though and that is what I am there for. It is my first real theatre job out of school and I am still very unsure of how things are in the "Real World" TM. This foum has been great for me to find ideas of how I can run the tech side of things.
Thanks in advance for the advice
