Fire Fighting Radios – How to Ensure Safety on Board

Reliable fire fighting radios are crucial in marine and offshore environments. These radios help emergency teams communicate clearly during fires. At SEANAV, we provide, maintain, and service fire fighting radios to keep your crew safe and compliant.

Fire fighting radios are built for tough conditions. They must work without fail during a fire. These radios give fire teams a private channel, so they can respond fast and safely.

Steps to Ensure Fire Fighting Radio Safety

To stay safe and meet safety rules, follow these simple steps:

  • Use ATEX-certified radios: These are explosion-proof and safe for dangerous areas.
  • Check radios often: Look at the battery, buttons, and antenna every month.
  • Train your crew: Practice with the radios so your team knows what to do.
  • Service the radios every year: Call a professional like SEANAV to check them properly.
  • Store radios where they are easy to find: In an emergency, every second counts.
