[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 327250, member: 484"] Billyop IT is not something your center has a choice over. It is a company wide ruling. And no where does it say your radio will be allowed if it is hard wired. That is not the case. Water coolers do not pose a shock hazzard when you sweat on them, nor do keyboards. But radios are a different matter. The action has followed several employees being killed when they bent over the radio, or reached up to change channels and got fried because they were sweat covered. That is the reason, pure and simple. It is a serious safety issue. And UPS will put a stop to it in your center, sooner or later. And I hope it is not after one of your fellow employees gets killed by stray voltage. Use battery packs that can be recharged, or use one like the dewalt that has a recharger built into it. It charges the battery for a 12+ hour day within a half hour or so. I always left it plugged in overnight, and it was ready to go in the AM. So like Lifer posted, it will change, only when is at issue. d [/QUOTE]
