Orchestra Pit Nets: Protecting Performers and Ensuring Stage Safety

Orchestra pits are an integral part of any theater or performance venue, providing a designated space for musicians to play alongside the main stage. However, they also pose potential hazards that need to be addressed to ensure the safety of performers. This is where InCord's Orchestra Pit Nets (OPNs) come into play. With their custom-built design and superior quality, the safety netting offers vital fall protection and peace of mind to musicians and stage crews.

The Importance of Orchestra Pit Nets

Safety Fall Protection On Stage

When it comes to stage safety, orchestra pits require special attention due to their unique characteristics. Orchestra pit netting acts as a protective barrier, preventing performers from accidentally falling into the pit while they are focused on their musical performances. By keeping the action on stage where it belongs, OPNs play a crucial role in minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries, this goes for on-stage as well as under.

The article “Flying Skateboards! Plummetting [sic] Meat Grinders! Freak Accidents During Broadway Shows Endangering Musicians: Union” by Matthew Sedacca written on nypost.com on 12/16/2023, explains the dangers of being a musician in an orchestra pit. It sheds light on falling or flying objects from the stage and into the pits. Not having the proper safety netting becomes a hazard and sometimes life-altering for the musicians working in the pits. This is their line of work. If they cannot play due to an injury from a fallen object, they also lose income, which is devastating. The article mentions this important quote:

“The employer has the obligation to provide for a healthy and safe work environment. When the union comes and says we need protection for musicians and they don’t provide it, it’s a problem,' said AFM International President Tino Gagliardi.”

Orchestra Pit Nets ensure workplace safety by protecting musicians from harm. This safety netting eliminates the fear of injury, which is a significant accomplishment in the theatre industry.

One of the key advantages of InCord's Orchestra Pit Nets is their custom-built nature.

That's why the Orchestra Pit Nets are primarily constructed using black, knotless high tenacity polypropylene (HTPP) material. This material not only meets or exceeds OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards but also ensures visual non-distraction for both musicians and the audience.
