The practice of individuals using someone else’s radio for radio checks will not be

tolerated. Network controller programmed radios display the callsign of the

transmitting radio, enabling the radio operator or network controller to compare

the users’ callsign with that transmitted by the radio.

Radio operators conducting radio checks are encouraged to report any abuse

mentioned above and inform the radio room supervisor and/or security officer of

the incident.

All users should be made aware of the above guidelines and the unsafe practices

associated with using someone else’s radio.

The primary reason radios are issued, is for the individuals’ safety and security.

Major Incident Radio Check

The purpose of the major incident radio check is to provide the quickest means

available to account for all UN staff members after an unexpected or dangerous

situation arises (i.e. the case of earthquake affected areas in the North Pakistan

operations). However, it could also be as a result of civil panic, malicious act or

accident.

In such a situation, all UN staff should have the common sense to listen to their VHF

radio for possible instructions or emergency radio checks (if required). If they don’t

have a radio available, they should report their status immediately to the main UN

radio room or relevant security officer by any other means.

Contacts should be made preferably by VHF radio. The telephone network generally

will be overloaded. As a result the telephone lines in the radio room should stay

available for emergency calls.

The radio room is to attempt to contact, by other means, staff who has not reported in

with either their warden or security focal point. The security focal point should be

contacted prior to this being commenced to ensure those staff members have not been

accounted for already.

Record the details (data base and/or log) of staff that have been accounted for and

those still waiting to be accounted for, and regularly inform the security focal point.
