Post the Anchorage fatality, I now make / ensure is made an extra RT call "Please confirm all Gnd Eqpt is clear". Our QRH does not really emphasise this point, and it can end with the "Eqpt Remove" line merging with he "De-Icing Report" requirement, who can be different people.

Judging by the confusion from my colleagues at my request, it is not a common call made? I doubt a robust SOP can be made to cover all the different airfields / de/anti ice requirements, aircraft types, airlines. However, as this and other accident shows, it is a useful "bottom line" for the aircrew.
