In order to communicate safely in hazardous environments, it is imperative that certain safety ratings are adhered to – and not just in relation to a two-way radio body, but its battery and accessory components as well.
Different safety ratings apply to different operating environments which are deemed to be potentially hazardous. Communications systems intended for use in such environments are seen as one complete kit. In other words, if there is a single component in the communication system that does not comply with the environment’s designated safety classification, it will void the overall safety rating of the entire communications system. This means it could be potentially dangerous.
Being aware of how safety ratings affect all parts of a communication system is essential. Learn More
