Does anyone know of a website/source where I can obtain various photos and pictures that I utilise within in work publications, and for my consultancy work, where I would not by potential breaching copyright law. Typically I would like to use pictures similar within HSE guidance for manual handling. Are we allowed to use HSE pictures without their prior permission? I know there are some websites where you can obtain various photos, but the ones I'm aware of you have to contact each owner for permission to use in publications. I'm willing to pay for a source where I can easily use photos/pictures without fear of breaching copyright law, and provide professional service for my clients. Hope you can help, Thanks...

I applied to the HSE for permission to use and it was granted. It was for internal business use so you may need to check how you are allowed to use it commercially. It may be that you just need to credit the HSE. It was all applied for online with minimal effort.
