[MCIC Safety] SAFETY QUESTION

[Randall Leathers]

We constantly remind site personnel to "turn off" cellphones, and only allow the use of intrinsically safe equipment in such areas.  When we have the need to use non-rated equipment we will implement the use of our Hot Work procedure as a control measure.

Hope this helps.

Hello all of you dedicated safety professionals. I hope this finds everyone well and only minimally overwhelmed with work load.
Anyway, we're grappling with an issue which prompts this request for information if you can spare a few minutes.

Do you have Class I Division I or II (flammable vapor) areas of electrical classification and if so, how do you treat the use of small battery powered devices in those areas, such as cell phones, flashlights, radios, and the like?

Thanks for your input,
