When it comes to efficiency, productivity, and safety in the workplace, communication is key. Industrial job sites are typically busy and loud, full of potential hazards. Communication is critical for both incident prevention and emergency situations.
In today’s world, there are countless ways to communicate. But on a hectic work site, there is only one: the two-way radio.
In a recent case study released by Motorola, owner of Wentworth Carrying, Angela Chambers says after switching to two-way radios, “We’ve not only saved on mobile phones costs, but we save time, which is a big factor, by making everything quicker and easier. A job which used to take one hour now takes nowhere near that time.”
Two-way radios have numerous benefits, ultimately increasing workplace and reducing costs. Here’s how:
Rugged Durability
Unlike cell phones, many two-way radios are designed to withstand wind, rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. Additionally, they are built to handle falls and drops, as workers are climbing to great heights and crawling under equipment.
Reliable Signal
Regardless whether you’re in a massive plant, building with thick concrete walls, or in a remote location, signal is never an issue with two-way radios. There are no dead spots or dropped calls. When tested properly for signal throughout workplaces, two-way radios will perform for your team.
Speed and Efficiency
Two-way radios allow for instant communication. Supervisors can immediately notify crews to explain change orders or errors during the building process. Not only is communication instant, but it goes out to multiple people at once, depending on the channel.
Clear Messages
Nothing is as detrimental to a project as a misunderstood message. Two-way radios provide clear audio for noisy sites. Powerful speakers provide crisp and clear audio at any volume, despite background noise.
Cost-Efficiency
There are no monthly fees or service plans associated with two-way radios. Depending on the size of your team, this can reduce operational costs by a huge margin.
