Who can call us: Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú employees and Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú productions only

We maintain the Health and Safety Information site (which includes the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Safety Standards and Guidance), support in the safety due diligence of independent production companies, and manage access to the Safety Hub (our online safety tool for documenting risk assessments, accidents, incidents and near misses, and safety assurance monitoring). 

Each business area has an assigned Safety Advisor to support with operational safety, and a Safety Specialist to support with with governance and strategic improvement. 

You can find out who your safety advisor is here:

Also, your query may be better addressed by other support services within the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú, including:

•  - for property-related issues. They also handle permits for filming in Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú buildings
•  - we know you need it but how much and what type isn't something we can help with, but the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Insurance team can
• Safety Equipment Store - they are separate from us so we can't help with orders or returns
•  - we don't advise directly on health matters, but our Occupational Health Service Partner does
•  - we can deal with most issues concerning Safety Hub and access, but if it's a network or browser issue, then you'll need to speak to IT.
