Raise your work safety, health and wellbeing concerns confidentially with CIRAS.

Group of track workers on railway

If you see something at work that isn't right, or you're not sure about it, you can tell your supervisor and use your work reporting channels – or you could be heard by usng CIRAS confidential safety hotline for transport. CIRAS is here for you if you don't feel comfortable using other reporting channels available to you and prefer to raise concerns confidentially.

If your employer is a CIRAS member, you can use our confidential reporting service.

We listen to you carefully and impartially – at a time that suits you – to really understand your concern and the issues around it. We share your concern with the company confidentially, so the right people can investigate and address it. We protect your identity, so no one will know who you are. We make sure you are heard and get a response.

We can share your concerns with any company you work with, such as a contractor or site owner. They don't have to be for your employer.

We can't take reports on real-time safety issues – where there is an imminent risk to safety – because it is quicker and safer to tell someone who can deal with it immediately.
