Cell Phones in the Work Place

Cell phone in the work place

like it or not just about everyone has a cell phone and it is becoming a problem .
just like when driving using cell phone when working can lead to accidents .
I have had employee that are texting when up on rafters or cutting wood just texting and not paying attention will end up hurting themselves .


It is becoming apparent all over the county that using cell phone while working is a distraction and accidents will and have started to happen in some work places.
employer need to start implementing guild line for cell phone and electronic devices at the work place .

On many job sites and work places you can see employees wearing ear buds when working and this too can be distracting if they can not here whats going on around them.

As of today all my employee are to leave all such devices in their lunch boxes and can only check them at break and lunch .
I have told all employee to have emergency call made to my number and then I will get hold of them .
remember not to long ago that was how it was done before we all had cell phones  
If we as employers do not get on top of this now it is going to become a big problem I have talked to other business owner and they all agree that cell phones at work is becoming a problem with most employee texting all day long while working 
So it is up to you to take charge and set guild line for cell phone use while at work.
