Health and Safety Information 39
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your mobile device off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death. Users are advised to switch the mobile device off while at a refueling point (service
station).
Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots
(fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,
or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire
Protection Association.
