01Prepare the view
Frame hands and upper body at useful detail.
Review phone use where attention matters
A visible phone and hand gesture can suggest device interaction. Validate the distinction from radios, scanners and authorized work devices before treating a candidate as a policy exception.
Catalog workflow. Confirm detector availability, permitted use and event delivery for the proposed deployment. Website examples are illustrative.

How It Works
Apply the rule to the task and zone Focus attention on context-specific device use.
01
02Assess the observation
Test supported detection against phones and permitted devices.
03Review the evidence
Review the candidate alongside task and zone context.
04Choose a response
Check whether the use is authorized and respond under site policy.

| Observation |  A visible phone held or used near a person. | A visible earphone or headset-like item. |
| Event criteria | A supported detector observes the agreed phone-use pattern in scope. | A supported detector identifies the agreed device class in scope. |
| Monitoring setup | Validate device exceptions, area and active period. | Confirm approved hearing protection, radios and restricted activities. |
| What it cannot establish | Cannot determine what someone is viewing or whether they are distracted. | Cannot establish audio playback, volume or whether warnings were heard. |
| Practical outcome | Help supervisors review a specific device-use rule. | Help teams review device exceptions without confusing protective equipment. |

Will scanners look like phones?
They can; validate permitted equipment and review candidates.
Does holding a phone prove distraction?
No. Consider the task and observed activity.
Can work-related phone use be exempt?
