USE OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM QUEUE
INTERFACE
The organization using the QUEUE Interface must establish their own procedures for
personnel accountability using the SCOTT CONNECT Accountability System including
a REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION to verify that the unit is working properly.
Firefighter Resources who are not using a properly equipped SCOTT SCBA respirator
may be added to the system for accountability purposes by using SCOTT Program-
mable ID Tags with the QUEUE Interface accessory.
Three programmable ID’s are available:
1. The ID Badge -- usually with an individual’s name and photo on it.
2. The ID Tag -- a plastic tag that can be attached to a helmet or strap.
3. The ID Button -- a plastic button that can be sewn into a garment such as inside
a sleeve.

Resources added this way will not be automatically able to receive communications
from the system. Special consideration must be given to resources who appear on
the system using one of these methods.
Any Firefighter Resources logged into the QUEUE Interface accessory will be added
to the accountability system when the QUEUE Interface comes within range of ac-
tive Base Station. The event commander must therefore confirm that all Firefighter
Resources logged into the QUEUE Interface actually arrived at the scene of the event.
WARNING
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN
TO RESOURCES WHO APPEAR ON THE
SYSTEM USING ONE OF THE TAG READING
METHODS. THE BASE STATION OPERATOR
MUST VERIFY THAT ALL PERSONNEL WHO
APPEAR AS LOGGED INTO THE QUEUE
INTERFACE ACCESSORY ARE ACTUALLY
PRESENT AT THE EVENT. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY RESULT PRESENTATION OF
INACCURATE INFORMATION WHICH COULD
LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
