Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive
atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off
wireless devices such as your phone or other
radio equipment. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres include
fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device
when in a blasting area or in areas where signs
are posted to power off "two-way radios" or
"electronic devices" to avoid interfering with
blasting operations.
