 🚧📱 SAFETY MOMENT | MOBILE PHONE USE WHILE WALKING ON SITE 📱🚧

Distractions at worksites can turn ordinary tasks into serious incidents in seconds.

📍 Scenario Observed:

A worker was seen walking through an active construction area while using a mobile phone—unaware of moving vehicles, forklifts, and heavy equipment nearby.

⚠️ Why this matters:

Using a phone while walking reduces situational awareness and increases the risk of: • Being struck by vehicles or equipment

• Slips, trips, and falls

• Serious injuries or fatalities

🗣️ What should we do when we see this?

✅ Intervene immediately

✅ Ask the person to stop walking while answering or making calls

✅ Discuss the hazards and potential consequences on site

🛠️ Corrective & Preventive Actions:

✔️ Stop walking when using a phone

✔️ Use designated phone-use areas only

✔️ Stay alert and aware of surroundings

✔️ Always follow pedestrian walkways

🚨 Safety Rule to Remember:

❌ If answering phone calls or texting – STOP

✅ No Calls + No Texting = No Walking

Let’s keep our focus where it matters most—on safety. One moment of awareness can prevent a lifetime of consequences.

👷‍♂️👷‍♀️ Stay alert. Stay visible. Stay safe.
