CELL PHONE/WIRELESS DEVICES USE POLICY

The purpose of this policy is to protect your safety by banning you from using cell phones and other wireless devices when driving that may cause distractions that prevent you from concentrating 100 percent on safe operation of the vehicle and thus lead to accidents.

RULES FOR ALL WORKERS

A.)Ban on Hand-Held Wireless Communication Devices. When you are on duty and driving, you MAY NOT use a Hand-Held wireless communication device of any type. This includes not only hand-held cell phones, but also text pagers, two-way radios and other wireless devices.

B.)Scope. The ban on the use of wireless communication devices above applies:

1. To all vehicles operated by workers while on duty, whether owned by the company or the individual worker;
2. To all wireless devices, whether owned by the company or by the individual worker; and
3. To all conversations, whether personal or business-related; and

C.)Handling Calls When Driving

1. Incoming Calls: Make sure your phone has caller ID and/or voice mail. If the phone rings, don’t answer it unless and until you pull over in a safe spot (or let a passenger answer the call). If it’s urgent, you may accept or return the call, provided that you remain parked off the roadway. You may not resume driving until the conversation ends.

1. Outgoing Calls: You may not make outgoing calls while driving. If you want to place a call, pull over in a safe spot first.

EMPLOYEE CELL PHONE/WIRELESS DEVICE USE PLEDGE

Effect of Policy: Violations of the foregoing rules will be considered a serious offense and may result in the imposition of discipline up to and including termination.

Reminder: The use of cell phones and other wireless devices while driving leads to distractions that can result in traffic accident. So, while we cannot force you to adhere to these rules when you are not on duty, we strongly urge you to do so for your own safety and well-being and that of family, friends and third parties on the roadways.

I understand that the cell phone/wireless devices use shall be enforced in the same manner with the same enforcement tools as any other work rule.
