Please understand that I am not questioning your advice, but need to know, in this case, if there is a safety concern.

The use you're describing would classify your rod as a proper "Technical Earth." As mentioned just be aware that there is potential for current to flow in the event that "Safety Ground" is connected to your "Technical Earth."
