Intrinsically Safe Two-Way Radios / Headsets for Hazardous Environments

When working in hazardous environments, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. Intrinsically Safe (IS) radios are specially designed to prevent sparks, heat, or electrical energy from igniting flammable gases, vapours, or dust — keeping workers protected in high-risk areas.

At Radio Industries, we supply a wide range of certified Intrinsically Safe radios trusted across industries like mining, oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, fuel storage, emergency response, and hazardous area maintenance. Our IS radios are tested and certified to meet ATEX, IECEx, and UL standards, ensuring safe communication in Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 environments.
