The regulation appears overburdensome to small employees especially those with small crews. For single person work crew it does allow for the use of only a communications device with 911 access, which greatly reduces the cost but for two person crews there is still a significant cost associated with this regulation, mostly in the area of schedule than cost. I believe the regulation for substitution of communication devices for crews of up to 3 persons should be adopted instead of just single person crews. Especially if they are within 15 minutes of a public safety service
