Dear all,
Is there a requirement for the Principal contractor and or sub contractors to be given specfic radio frequencies for on site communication, presumabley from the local authority. Obviously we do not wish to block or jam the emergency services or overhear any adjacent sites. Any information would be greatly received.
Regards

Where business radios require to be licensed, I believe that this is done via Ofcom.

You can get licence free radios with a range of up to 3 kilometers. Called PMR 446 radios.
8 main channels and up to 308 sub channels. For general site use are OK (subject to terrain) but should not be used for safety critical applications such as controlling plant/ cranes etc.
Avoid the "toy" type and go for the industrial versions (approx £150 - £200 each)

If the radios you're using were purchased legally in the UK (and haven't been modified), you won't interfere with any emergency services.
Otherwise, if you're using the kind of radio that doesn't need a licence (PMR446 and some others) then it's every man for himself for the frequency - just find one that seems to be clear and use it.
If you're using a radio that needs a licence, the supplier you bought/rented it from will advise on the best procedure (and should have done so at the time of purchase!)
Hope this helps, Paul
