The site has a 24 hour security presence.

If you discover a lost or unattended item, either in or around the site, adopt the H O T assessment procedure:

H = HIDDEN

Has it been concealed or hidden from view?

Bombs are unlikely to be left in locations such as this - where any unattended item will be noticed quickly.

O = OBVIOUSLY SUSPICIOUS

Does it have wires, circuit boards, batteries, tape or putty-like substances?

Do you think the item poses an immediate threat to life?

T = TYPICAL

Is the item typical of what you would expect to find in this location?

Most lost property is found in locations where people congregate

If you're unsure, contact security immediately

Mental Health

The events and production industry is one that can include
long working hours, days, or weeks, often with times away from home, and can be a challenging and fast paced environment.

It is important as an industry, and as individuals that we manage
and address mental health for our own sake, and also for that of our colleagues.

Having good mental health is important, and having poor mental health should not discriminate an individual.
The past 24 months have been a challenge not only for our
industry, but also our mental health.

We have compiled a number of agencies and companies that are
available to help you, or your colleagues, especially if you are worried about someone.

Click on the button at the end of this section to access these links and agency contacts.

Your health and safety consultant or mental health first aider on site are available to help, and can talk in strict confidence, away from the event floor.

Ian or ‘Parky’ has kindly spoken out about his mental health, and how you can help yourself and others.

Ian also discusses some of the changes to look out for in yourself, or in your colleagues.

To watch Ian's short video, watch the video below or, click the button that follows this section and access his interview as well as links to support agencies on a separate tab in your browser.

This link will also be included in the confirmation email you will receive, once you complete this induction, so don't worry you can access these at anytime away from work if you lose this induction link.
