Health and safety support for production — and the online systems to manage it.
ESS Consultants provide onsite safety support, training and risk management for broadcast, productions, studios and events. Alongside our consultants we now run a suite of online systems covering inductions, compliance, incident reporting, event control, RAMS and contractor due diligence.
Our online systems
Each platform below is live and in use on productions, broadcasts and events. Use them on their own, or together as one compliance picture. All can carry your own branding.
Online Inductions
Build a site or production induction once, then get everyone through it. Invite staff directly from the system, or let them self-enrol from a link or a QR code on the gate. Access control can be added, including scanning people in against their confirmation email.
- Bespoke inductions per production, venue or client
- Direct invites, shareable links or printed QR codes
- Access control and on-gate scanning via confirmation email
- Live completion records, exportable for audit
Client Safety System & Portal
A full safety management system and client portal in one place — compliance tracking, asset and equipment management, staff training records and lone worker monitoring.
- Compliance dashboards and document control
- Asset registers, inspections and service dates
- Staff training matrix with expiry alerts
- Lone worker check-in and escalation
Accident & Incident Reporting
Manage accidents, incidents, near misses and investigations in one place — from first report through to root cause, actions and close-out.
- Online reporting for anyone on site
- Investigation workflow and evidence upload
- Corrective actions with owners and due dates

Event Control
Run event control from one screen. Log every issue, action and decision, track capacities live, and leave the show with a complete, timestamped log.
- Live issue log with actions and ownership
- Capacity and occupancy monitoring
- Full audit trail for debrief and licensing

Weather Management
Set thresholds and get alerted before the weather becomes a safety decision — built for outdoor events, OBs and any project exposed to the elements.
- Per-site wind, rain, temperature and gust thresholds
- Automatic alerts to nominated people
- Forecast view alongside recorded readings
