Choose for the designated work area
Identify the applicable area classification and the tasks the phone must support. Review the configuration’s markings and manufacturer documentation before bringing a device into that area.
Bring work information closer
A suitable mobile device can let a worker consult a record, receive an instruction, or document an observation where the work occurs. A trial with a familiar workflow helps determine whether the device is practical for that team.
Protect people and equipment
Device selection is one part of the site’s safety practices. Keep installation and use instructions available to workers, establish how damaged units will be reported, and follow the site’s procedures for permitted equipment.
