Opportunities and Roadblocks
With fewer cars on the road these days, public works agencies and private contractors are able to move planned projects up earlier.
The flip side of this advantage is the need to comply with CDC recommendations on social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
Communication and Training Challenges
During the pandemic, our old team communication favorites are out. The shoulder-tap? Not with social distancing. Yelling? Unreliable. Radios and cell phones require a free hand.
Those same problems also make on-the-job training for new employees and trainers an exercise in frustration.
Effective Team Communication At Social Distance
Sonetics Team Wireless Headsets enable natural conversation at a safe distance by combining conference call-like communication and hands-free operation with advanced hearing protection.
Crew members can hear each other clearly even in high noise, which eliminates the need for face-to-face communication. Now everyone can safely maintain social distance while continuing to collaborate and communicate as the work continues.
How it works
Wireless headsets for teams convey a number of immediate benefits for public works crews:
Removes the need for face-to-face conversation while maintaining team communication and collaboration.
Minimizes the risk of communication errors from crew members concerned about maintaining distance in high-noise environments.
Quick deployment avoids work stoppages and ensures that employers remain in compliance with health requirements.
Accelerates training by maintaining a “lifeline” of continuous communication between trainees and supervisors.
Higher productivity is realized when instructions are delivered clearly and questions are answered directly in real-time.
