The HSE identifies radio communication as an important consideration in construction site safety arrangements. Discover how two-way radios can support lifting operations, traffic management and emergency procedures, alongside a practical communication and safety checklist for construction site managers.

Construction Radios Ready to Use

“For a busy period we arranged a mixed handheld and vehicle radio setup, mainly for subcontractors across a large build. The kit arrived labelled and we were up and running quickly.”

Practical Advice for Festival Communications

“We contacted DCS about communications for our outdoor festival and got practical advice. A useful improvement over our previous setup.”

Haulage Two-Way Radios

“The radios were ready for our haulage depots and worked well throughout. It helped us keep drivers and dispatch in touch between depots.”

Volunteer Response Radios with Helpful Support

“We wanted something more practical than staff relying on mobiles for volunteer response coordinators, and chose a set of digital handheld radios. There was a small question about charging, but support sorted it out without fuss.”

Easy-to-Use Hospitality Radios

“Our previous radios were becoming unreliable, so we contacted DCS about a repeater-backed radio system for conference and banqueting teams. Our supervisors found the handsets easy to use even on a busy shift.”

Improved Practice Radio Coverage

“For a busy period we arranged a repeater-backed radio system, mainly for practice managers between buildings. Coverage was noticeably better in the areas we had struggled with before.”

Choosing Radios for Factory Teams

“Our operations had grown and production lines and maintenance engineers needed better contact, so we ordered radios with discreet earpieces. We liked that they explained the difference between site radios and nationwide PoC before we decided.”
