Pilbara Iron’s new internal emergency number is in operation. Employees only have to dial 222 to raise the alarm on any site.
“The 222 emergency number is intended to make it much easier for employees to get assistance when they need it the most. It is also an important step towards standardising emergency systems across the business,” said Pilbara Iron emergency management advisor Eddie Coyle.
Before 222, each site had its own unique internal telephone number making it especially difficult for contractors, who move between sites regularly, to remember each one. The new standard internal number means you only need to memorise one number to be directed to Pilbara Iron’s emergency management facility.
Remember, the 222 number is for internal calls only so if you are in an emergency off site. or need to call from a mobile phone, you must still dial the existing external numbers for each site. Remember to store each number that you are likely to use in your mobile phone book.
