I will give a hearty second to @MNicolai endorsement of Incord.
In our high school space we have a pit net that was built by them. Whenever the pit is going to get opened (it's a manual pull) the pit net is installed before the sections are removed.
We also do the following:
- Lay down two layers of high viz spike tape when rehearsals start to help the director / choreographer / performers becomes used to the space the pit will take up during the show... this doesn't come off until dress.
- When the pit is open, on top of the pit net, there is a portable stanchion with warning belts installed from the moment the pit is opened until we get deep into rehearsals.
- when not removed for active rehearsal / show they are always in place.
- We leave the fluorescent pit lights on when not in rehearsal / performance mode. In the evening they stay on as well as the ghost light.
- Finally we have boards on SL & SR where we list current hazards on the stage
Luckily the only thing that has gone into the pit in 10 years was some dry ice fog and a couple of small hand props.
