Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
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 are in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it is rare, your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could
cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are
often, but not always, clearly marked. These areas include:
• Fueling 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.
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment
of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
