To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a blasting area or
in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. Turn off your phone when
you're in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
