SAFETY OVERVIEW
Workplace safety is of the utmost importance for any business, regardless of how many employees there are or how large the workplace
is. One of the greatest factors in promoting workplace safety is communication. In order for employees and your management team to
know how to stay safe at work, they need to know the rules of your business and any set by the government. But knowing the rules isn’t
the only thing that needs to be communicated. There are many other instances in which being able to communicate with one another at
work can help you prevent safety issues from occurring, while avoiding injury or damage. In all of these instances, having 2-way radios
can help you and your team communicate in a timely manner.
• COMMUNICATE IN THE MOMENT (GROUPS OR INDIVIDUALS). A typical work day can be lled with so much to do that it’s
hard to remember everything that happens. You might spot a minor issue you want to tell your supervisor about, but then you
get sidetracked and it’s forgotten. Instead of being burdened by writing copious notes or trying to remember, you can relay the
information immediately with the use of a radio. Respond quickly to emergencies by instantly contacting large groups, or quarantine
issues by calling individual radio users (private call feature – MotoTRBO digital radio)
• GET BACKUP. When in doubt, a second opinion regarding a safety matter can be important. If it’s not possible to go nd another
person or not safe to leave your location, being able to get backup with the help of a communication device can help you resolve
the issue more quickly.
• PROVIDE SUPPORT. Outtting a newer employee with a way to communicate with you can help them avoid safety issues by
providing them quick access to help and support. As the employee is able to reach out for assistance, it can promote the sharing of
knowledge and information that help promote workplace safety.
• REPORT DANGER. There are times when a dangerous situation in the workplace prevents you or a worker from nding a supervisor
or calling the police. Having a communication device on-hand allows you and your staff to report the sighting of a dangerous
situation or person without having to put yourself in harm’s way. No matter how safety-minded your company is, how secure your
building is or how knowledgeable you are about workplace safety standards, accidents and incidents do happen. Being able to
communicate with one another during these instances can help you protect your employees, your property and your business.
Once a safety issue occurs, you can only react or respond to it as the chance to prevent it has already passed. Providing employees with
ways to communicate within the workplace helps all of you avoid mishaps and dangerous situations, which puts you in the position to be
proactive, rather than reactive. It only takes one accident to learn the hard way, but that can be a costly and painful way to learn about
the importance of maintaining safety in the work environment. Stick with a proactive approach by making sure communication is never a
problem, especially when it comes to safety.
