IATSE has a safety hotline for members to contact, they can leave a message or speak to a representative who will take a report and start the process of investigating. It is not intended to replace an employer's duty to keep the workplace safe, rather as an additional reporting tool to help make the workplace safer.
You can call the safety Hotline at:
