 Remain calm and call “EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY”;
 Wait for a response;
 State your name;
 Location on site;
 Nature of the emergency;
 Remain at the radio for potential instructions/questions.
The “emergency, emergency, emergency” call shall trigger radio silence by other users until
advised otherwise.

to establish clear access to the incident scene and if possible remove any hazards that could
