OFCOM – Delays in applications and responses
Due to high volumes of work, there may be delays in processing radio licence applications and responding to enquiries. However, OFCOM is still aiming to complete applications within their published turnaround times (See Section 4 of the Wireless Telegraphy (Licensing Procedures) Regulations 2010.)
Did you know that DCRS can assist you with your OFCOM radio licence and manage your renewals to ensure your frequencies are never revoked. Find out more here.
DCRS Engineers complete Roof Safety & RF Hazards Reval
Health & Safety is at the forefront of everything that DCRS does. In November we sent our engineers on their annual Roof safety and RF Hazards course. This Roof Safety and RF Hazards revalidation course provides information and practical training on a range of temporary and permanent fall protection systems used for work on roofs. This adds to our engineer’s already comprehensive list of qualifications in this area.
