You do not have to make your case in front of the whole crew.
A concern about safety or treatment is met with humiliation, threats about future work or instructions to keep quiet.
Illustrative situation. Pressure & retaliation.
You might hear
“This is a small industry. Be careful.”
What you can do
Keep a factual record of the concern and the response. Avoid a public argument if it makes you less safe.
When the supervisor is the problem, ask for a different reporting contact or speak directly with OHS, your union or another qualified adviser.
Ask how your identity and records will be handled. Do not rely on this site—or a promise on set—for guaranteed confidentiality or protection from retaliation.
Example wording
“I’ve raised a specific concern. Please tell me who can review it without the person involved handling the complaint.”
Use your own words. You can take this to an adviser instead of the person involved.
Keep a record
Dates, exact words and witnesses
Changes to calls or work after raising the concern
Keep records you are entitled to hold, somewhere secure. Avoid collecting other people’s private material or recording secretly without advice. This site does not take incident reports.
