Company Cell Phone Use While Driving - Guideline

When driving a vehicle for our company (company owned or personal), you have one and only one responsibility, and that is driving the vehicle. Safe driving requires 100% attention to the operation of the vehicle. Using a cell phone while driving puts others at risk. A National Safety Council study found that drivers using cell phones miss twice as many traffic signals as those not using a cell phone.

Do not use cell phones when conditions are hazardous.

 Hazardous conditions may include: o Heavy Traffic – construction zones, pedestrians, bicycles, schools, and farm equipment o Terrain / Road conditions – narrow two lane, steep, curves, wildlife, no shoulders, one lane bridges o Weather - snow, fog, wind, rain, ice, hail, bright sun o Environment – Explosion Possibility - Oil & gas well sites, gas stations, compressor stations, flammable liquids (turn off cell phone before exiting the vehicle).

Ideally, cell phones should not be used while operating a vehicle. Advise customers, and regular callers of our company’s cell phone policy.

 Let voice mail handle the call for you.  Do not place calls while driving. Pull over first or have a passenger place the call.  Never pick the phone up off the floor while driving. Pull over & park first.  If in traffic: o If traffic is light - Maintain at least 4 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you, if you need to answer the call. o Answer the phone and tell the caller you are going to pull over before beginning the conversation. Place the phone on the seat, and use both hands on the wheel while parking. o Tell the caller you will call him/her back after you have parked the vehicle.

I, the undersigned, have read, understand and will comply with this company policy.
