CONTROL OF THE FILMING AREA

Thames Water’s number one priority is the health and safety of all people whilst on its sites.

In the event of an emergency, it is possible that all film crew will be asked to leave the site.

Once contracts have been signed Thames Water will Transfer the Operational Control of Premises (TOCoP) to the production. This allows the production to assess its own health and safety requirements, hence the crew and cast can wear less or no PPE.

NOISE

Most of the locations involve some kind of pump which can be very noisy. On rare occasions the pumps can be turned off by TW staff but during takes only, not for any length of time.

SECURITY

All Thames Water sites are monitored by CCTV and most have security gates. 

• Locality can organise access but need names provided with at least 24 hours notice.

• If the site you are wanting to use is close to an airport you will have to inform the airport security.  Maps and info at https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/

INDUCTION

Each person working on a TW site must undertake an induction to fully understand the health, safety and wellbeing responsibilities of entering a Thames Water operational site. This is a video 

SET DRESSING / CAMERA REQUIREMENTS

• Never remove, cover or block emergency signage or cover smoke detectors.

• Isolation of detectors can only be done by TW staff.

• Do NOT touch machinery, hoists, control panels or open any shut cupboard. 

• Any crane owned by TW can only be operated by TW staff. Hoists to be tied off by crew.

• No holes or drilling into the structure of buildings.

• Painting is NOT allowed on the structure of buildings.

CONSTRUCTION

• Only non-structural construction is allowed e.g. flattage.

• Details of how it is  fixed / weighted down and where the anchor points are must be noted in the Contract Particulars.

• Thames Water will need to conduct a site survey If any excavation or digging is required to ensure no underground cables or pipes are damaged. 

Where a project exceeds 30 construction days, with 20 or more workers working simultaneously, or if the project exceeds 500 person days, the HSE must be notified as required by the Health and Safety (Construction Design and Management) Regulations 2015. 

ADDITIONAL PERMITS 

The Controller of Premises will need to issue a permit if production requires any of the following: 

• Anything that produces a spark requires a hot work permit.

• Cranes require a crane permit. 

• Pyrotechnics requires a hot work permit and local fire brigade to be made aware.

• Access to confined space requires atmosphere monitoring.

• Fake weapons or police require the police to be notified and a CAD number supplied.

WORKING NEAR WATER

Working on or near water may require a safety boat, diver or rescue equipment depending upon the body of water and action.

It can take several days to process your film or photography request because of the many stages.

INITIAL ENQUIRY

After you have read all the information in these pages and your budget allows for the fees, Locality asks that you fill out the enquiry form at the bottom of this page or email us the following details:

Production company:
Name of project:
Type of shoot : 
Where imagery will be seen: 
Scene description: 
Dates required: 
How many people on site: 

Additionally you will need to supply a synopsis of the project and script pages.

FIRST CHECKS

Locality will:

• contact Thames Water’s Press Office who will assess the content/synopsis and either refuse or allow the enquiry to proceed.

• contact the site manager / Controller of Premises to see if the enquiry dates clash with any operational works or the proposed action is suitable at the site. 

Once Locality gets the okay to proceed with your enquiry we can arrange for production to visit the site.

SITE VISITS

All site visits must be escorted by a Thames Water Passport trained person and will be charged to Production at a cost of £120 for the first hour and £60 per hour after.

Until a ToCop is in place all persons entering a Thames Water site must cover their arms and legs and wear full Personal Protective Equipment(PPE):

• Hard hats

• High visibility vests

• Steel toe capped boots

• Gloves

• Safety glasses

There are no exceptions! 

Production must provide PPE for all its personnel.

INTENTIONS 

The next step is Locality will send production an Intentions Form to complete. This details the requirements needed by each department.

The production will need to provide a Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) to cover its specific requirements. Locality can supply a template risk assessment if needed.

CONTRACT STAGE 

• Locality will go through the Intentions Form and relevant RAMS with Thames Water. 

• Once the Controller of Premises has approved everything the details will be added to a contract/Location Hire Agreement (LHA).

• We regret that no legal amendments can be made to the LHA. Riders can be added if required by the production's legal team.

•  

• Locality will send the LHA for signature by a Producer or other designated person and TW head office.

• The production must provide evidence of public liability insurance up to £10 million UK pounds.

• Once contracts have been signed Thames Water will Transfer the Operational Control of Premises (TOCoP) to the production. This allows the production to assess its own health and safety requirements, hence the crew and cast can wear less or no PPE.

DAY OF ACCESS

Locality will provide personnel or organise Thames Water staff to assist the production whilst the crew are on site. Production will be charged for any staff time accrued.

At the end of the production's access Locality asks for a Sign Off Sheet to be completed.

In the case of a TOCOP, the Controller of Premises will sign to indicate that they have taken back control of the premises and cancel any TWOSA’s where applicable.

HEALTH + SAFETY

• Number one priority is the health and safety of all people on site.

• Thames Water expects ‘‘zero incidents, zero harm, zero compromise’.

• The Production is expected to abide by the agreed H&S RAMS and contract particulars in the Location Hire Agreement.  If it is not written down, it's not happening!

• A person from the location team who will be on site at all times will be asked to sign a Thames Water Operational Site Safety Assessment (TWOSA) before anyone can enter the site.

SECURITY

Production must:

• Supply SIA approved personnel to assist with the signing in and out at the security gates to avoid tailbacks/traffic congestion.

• Fence off the boundaries of the TOCop to stop crew wandering into other areas. 

• Provide vehicle transportation between the main security gates and the TOCOP area. 

• Create a safe area of passage between the technical parking and the set.

Locality will provide personnel or organised Thames Water staff to assist the location team and security whilst the crew are on site. Production will be charged for any staff time.

WELFARE

Production to supply its own welfare provisions for crew. This must include: toilets; hand washing facilities; covered space for rest; drinking water; food.

Production to have at least one ‘appointed first aid person’ on site at all times and report any incidents to TW.

VEHICLES

• Speed restrictions & prescribed traffic routes must be complied with.

• No parking in any area other than identified on the site map.

• Reversing vehicles must be directed by a banksman  unless in a fenced off vehicle only zone.

WASTE / CLEANING
