Make the right call and report it

If you make the right call and report your safety concerns, the right people can take action. What you know could help keep others safe.

You could tell your supervisor or manager, use company reporting channels, raise a close call, or speak to a union. If you prefer to raise your concerns in confidence, or if you’ve tried other reporting channels without success, you can contact us: CIRAS confidential safety hotline for the transport sector. See below for our reporting contact details.

We listen to you. We protect your identity. We send a report to the right people who can act. They won’t know who you are but they'll know about your concern. Our member companies commit to investigate, take appropriate action, and respond. We'll share their response with you so you know what's happened. You can raise a concern through us for your employer or for another company.

When someone is listening, we’re all more likely to make the right call and raise our concerns. By listening, we learn.

Will you make the right call and report your safety concerns? Or can you help build a listening culture where you work, so others can? Scroll down to our featured articles to discover how, and why listening is crucial for safety.

Build a listening partnership

In a listening culture, leaders and managers are open to hearing from staff, however they raise their safety concerns, listening carefully and impartially.

As a CIRAS member, you can also hear from others working in transport, not only people at your company. We provide extra listening, and that’s a win-win for everyone. You’re able to listen and learn across the sector through our searchable reports and the good practice we share.

We can help you build your listening culture. Our Make the Right Call campaign encourages us all to think about how we listen and is a reminder that there are many ways for everyone's concerns to be heard. People speak up in different ways. The main thing is to make the right call and report it. Promoting CIRAS as one of your reporting channels helps show that you are listening.

Speak to your CIRAS stakeholder manager if you would like additional help with building your listening partnership. You can find their details in your MyCIRAS area, or contact us to find out.
