Progress – Chapter 19

You should now:

• be aware how valuable radios will be on a large site or at a large event,
• have researched among the commercial radio hire organisations to establish the numbers required, base station, cost, etc.,
• have requested at least three quotes, including charges for delivery, set up, on-site base station operator, possible generator, possible training, collection and removal,
• have asked the suppliers to include availability in their quote and to confirm that they can supply your requirements for your proposed dates,
• have designed a radio issue administrative procedure to keep track of issue and return (if the suppliers don’t have one),
• devise and introduce a method of sending emergency messages, and
• have identified those members of event staff who need a radio, e.g. event manager, cashier, police liaison, ambulance, etc.
