Other Safety Guidelines
Aircraft
Regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft or turn off
the wireless connections.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a ‘blasting area’ or in areas posted: ‘Turn
off two-way radio.’ Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive environments
Turn your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive environment and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive environment are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas
such as gas stations, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquified
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Choking
Keep your phone away from children as the SIM card and other small parts present a choking hazard.
