You DO NOT have the authority to force the other team to share.
I agree
Absent a specific rule about the equipment, you DO NOT have the authority to impose "safety" standards which are not in the book.
I agree no authority to impose safety standards per se. However as part of the pre-game. "Coaches are you teams legally and properly equipted" You do have authority and an obligation to be sure the game site and equipment are safe to use. If you beleive that this is not the case and it can't be fixed don't play the game. It's that simple.
