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 atmospheres
Turn your phone 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below
deck on boats; fuel or 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’s engine.
