Hi Andrew,
Not to be too much of a wise guy the answer to your question is probably a resounding "NO"
We used a Shure wireless mic at our machine shop in Greenfield Village while I was there and it was fine---if---and it is a big if--- everything was treated carefully. As we all know, the "Little Dears" as we like to call them, are not careful at all.
I'd suggest one of two approaches:
1) Wireless: Use the cheapest consumer version you can find and make it a replacement type part.
2) Wired: fix the mic down in some way and let them gather about it. Not very "Karaoke" ish but it willbe reliable and last a long time.
Good luck!
