Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone 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.
Switch off the device at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, 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
- any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
