We used to have individual office phones, plus workshop phones.
Other phones in corridors were restricted to 999 and internal use.
The powers that be have now scrapped all phones, we use MS TEAMS via our computers and although it works ok, it means that if I was to discover a body in a corridor, I would have to rely on my mobile phone.
It also means that if a guy in a workshop severs his hand, there is no phone.
you'd have to rely on a mobile or logging into a pc.
the space is open 24/7 for many people who don't have offices (and hence a phone)
Does H&S require emergency phone lines? we could always hit the fire alarm but that would mainly evacuate the building. I don't always carry my mobile
just seems weird if a high hazard area doesn't require a hard wired phone. ( and if there's a power cut the VOIP won't work)
