The Palma firefighters' unions complain that the new stations are not operational.|RSThe union representatives of the UGT and CCOO of the Palma firefighters have criticized the problems that are causing the 90 individual radio stations that the Seguretat Ciutadana area bought in October 2020 and that, to this day, are still not operational because they lack a component that makes the devices compatible with the helmets they usually use, as stated in an internal note sent to their affiliates.Thus, as stated in the letter, the purchase process of these Atex transmitters, which in theory are integrated into the helmets and facilitate communication between firefighters when they cover a service, has already started irregularly since, the unions say, the award "It was carried out in breach of the Law on the Protection of Occupational Risks", specifically Chapter V on the participation of workers in preventive matters "and without informing" the specific service and without evaluating "if it complies with regulations, functions and adapts to the work of firefighters ».The unions assure that they have already notified the political party of this circumstance.Once acquired, those responsible realized that with the new stations "on the DMO live channel the signal does not reach the street from the sixth floor up or from the fourth basement floor".Likewise, after testing them, they detected that the volume "was insufficient", that "they were beeping because a station was bought without knowing if it had coverage in the city", that there was also loss of the signal on the live channel "if there are many forged by in the middle” and that the battery of some “are not operational”.They also complain about the button on the stations, which has changed from one of "fist" to another of "smaller finger that does not facilitate communications during interventions."The unions recall that a system of repeaters has been created "to gain security" and that work is being done to install repeater antennas for Tertra IB coverage, a network of government stations in which all the emergency forces are integrated, which will allow communicate with each other during an intervention.However, in this sense, they assure that "on this measure there is no approximate time for improvement in the short term."To comment it is necessary to be registered in Ultima HoraCurrently there are no comments.
