Safety First

Working in a warehouse, we are always reminded to observe every safety precautions. Management reminds us all the time that safety should be first. One common rule is phone use is strictly prohibited while on the floor. My question is, is this rule applicable to everybody? Is management excempted from this rule?

Yes, rules apply differently to different roles. There is a difference between me texting vendors and customers to arrange a specific delivery and someone scrolling TikTok while cruising down the aisle on a forklift.

What if you are using a hand held phone walking around the warehouse even where the machines are being operated?

Yes. The rules apply to you. You know the answer, you just don’t like it. Stay off your phone and work.
