Bush fire, weather & floods
🌳 Bush fire
- On Total Fire Ban / Extreme days: no hot work, welding, grinding or naked flame outside the workshops.
- If a bush fire threatens site, evacuation is the default response - not sheltering.
- Load into the nearest vehicle at Social Base and travel to accommodation, or to Sanderson's Carpark if directed.
⛈ Severe weather & lightning
- Lightning within 10km closes the Studio and bridges. "Flash to bang" under 30 seconds = shelter immediately.
- Safety will announce when bridges are closed; they reopen 30 minutes after the last strike.
- Stay clear of open ground, tall isolated trees and metal structures.
- Strong wind: keep clear of the forest and rigging bridges - risk of falling branches.
- Never drive across a flooded causeway. Contact your HoD or Safety and await instructions.
🌊 Floods
- Major flooding: Line Producers and Safety decide on evacuation. Go to the Social Assembly Point when instructed.
- Flooding over roads: the road may close temporarily. Never drive through a flooded causeway.

Reporting & wellbeing
📋 Reporting

- UK crew: log the incident in i-Sight: itv.i-sight.com/portal.
♥ Crew wellbeing
Psychological safety matters here. A production can be demanding with long hours, high pressure and time away from home and it is normal to find this challenging at times. If you're not coping due to stress or fatigue, speak to your manager, the crew welfare coordinator, medical team, safety, production manager, the producers or HR. Look out for your colleagues too, and don't hesitate to flag it if you're concerned about someone else's wellbeing. All conversations are confidential.
