3 . EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION

When required to communicate in an Emergency, Workers are to use whatever
communication method is available, with radio communications being the first priority.
Emergency communications must:
 start with “EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY”;
 be given priority; and
 be answered immediately.
If there is an Emergency message on an Open-Channel radio, other users of the
channel must stop transmission immediately.
Unless they are answering or aiding the Emergency call, Workers must not transmit
unless they are certain no interference will result.
