Smart and safe cell phone use: a tip sheet

Details

• Corporate Authors:
  Washington (State). Department of Labor and Industries
• Description:
  Don't let your smart phone cause you to make a dumb decision. Workers; keep your phone in your pocket when you're in the yard, terminal or loading dock. And of course, don't text or talk while driving. Employers; designate cellphone use areas and cellphone-free zones on your property. Train drivers to stay in their cab or other safe area and to use designated walking paths during loading and unloading. Bonus safety tip for forklift drivers; always drive with load lowered and in reverse if the load will impede visibility. [Description provided by NIOSH]
