2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of worksite radios is important for all field teams. Radios allow quick communication but can become a distraction if misused.
Workers should keep messages short, clear, and relevant to the task.
Different channels may be designated for specific crews. Using the wrong channel can cause confusion.
Keeping radios clipped securely to belts or harnesses prevents accidental drops.
Safety Reminders
- Stay focused during communication.
- Use correct radio channels.
- Keep radios clipped securely.
- Speak clearly and briefly.
Ask the Crew
- Which channels are assigned for today’s work?
- Do we need additional radios for the team?
