In the event of an evacuation or emergency, we needed a way to quickly confirm muster points for associates outside of the facility. You know, for fire drills or ammonia-related drills where we must evacuate. It was a bit of a challenge to do that on cell phones with text messaging versus having everyone on the same platform. The two-way radios were ineffective because of the channel interference that we experienced. By moving to an intrinsically safe radio and better safe radio platform with Walt, supported by the right PPE supplies and safety equipment, we improved our critical communication system and overall worker safety.
