Policies and Procedures for Cell Phone Usage While Driving

This policy outlines guidelines for the use of wireless communication devices while operating vehicles and equipment. Research has proven a direct co-relation between the use of wireless devices and the increased risk of being in an accident. Some provinces in Canada have passed a law making it illegal to use a hand-held device while operating a vehicle (this includes GPS devices, cellphones, iPods and/or other electronic driving distractions). Our organization is joining these provinces in supporting this very important position.
