Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.
Turn your phone off when you are in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your
phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can
cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even
death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include:
Fuelling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle's engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
