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.
Fireghter 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 Fireghter 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 conrm that all Fireghter
Resources logged into the QUEUE Interface actually arrived at the scene of the event.
