Using those ground cables is not just a good idea.

Ground cables - makes me then wonder about their grounding system. Every truck loading terminal that I had worked on had a grounding monitor. The truck grounding cable was connected to the monitor (look up Scully Groundhog). If a proper grounding connection was not maintained, the control logic would not permit product loading.

OSHA is going to be on this one, as well as Texas.
BTW, I do not work for Scully Signal, nor market their products. I am an applications engineer.

It is the law (hoping the integrity of the system was not the issue).

You’re just over cautious.
