Can I use my mobile phone?

_{The Basics}

This policy covers how to use mobile phones at work, including company-issued phones and personal phones during working hours. It’s designed to keep everyone safe, productive, and respectful of others — whether you’re in the office, working remotely, or driving for work. 

_{What You Need to Do}

• If you’ve been issued a work mobile, keep it safe, secure, and use it in line with company guidance.
• Only make personal calls during working hours if it's allowed — keep it minimal and reasonable.
• Don’t use your phone in meetings or training sessions — switch it off or keep it silent.
• Never use a hand-held phone while driving. If driving is part of your job, use hands-free or wait until parked safely.
• Report lost, broken or misused company phones to your manager straight away.
