I am the safety co-ordinator on a large construction project in yorkshire; having seen the positive effects of using a set of Visual & Common Standards; photos of what looks bad and what looks good in use at the London Legacy Olympic Stadium, I am developing a similar document for this project.

I have hit a snag...copyright on the photos. I cannot use photos on documents that i have brought with me because I don't own them.

Therefore, I need to access a huge bank of construction health, safety & environmental photos that are either free of copyright, can be purchased or can be used if reference is made on the document to the owner.

Can anyone help?

It may have more of an impact if the photos related to the site operatives were working on. This may be difficult depending on what stage the project is at, but can always mock up scenarios / events etc in order to make them site specific.

Good for you for realising you can't just rip off other people's work and that this includes photos.

Another suggestion could be to contact the SHP magazine, see if they can offer you some digital media.
