Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a phone type
especially qualified for use in such areas and certified as
"Intrinsically Safe." Do not remove, install, or charge batteries
in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere
can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fuelling areas such as below decks
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn
OFF your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps,
in a blasting area, or in areas posted "Turn off electronic
devices." Obey all signs and instructions.
