About Health and Safety
What health effects are caused by using mobile phones?	Concerns have been expressed about other health effects such as memory loss, changes in attention and variation in blood pressure, however there is little scientific data to support these concerns and so to most researchers this seems to indicate any risk is minimal. National and international bodies are continuing to research these issues.
How can I limit exposure to radiowaves from mobile phones?	Ways of reducing exposure, in order of significance include:   using land-line phones where practicable, especially for long calls;   making fewer mobile phone calls;   spending minimal time on mobile phone calls;   retrieving voicemail messages on landline phones;   using 'hands free' mobile phone kits;   holding the phone away from your ear;   buying mobile phones with lower power outputs(like the twinsim); and   selecting a handpiece design that uses effective shielding technology.
What if I have to use my mobile phone for work while driving?	It is illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving.  Even using a  "hands free" mobile phone while driving can be distracting and potentially dangerous.
What other risks do mobile phones pose in a workplace?	Hand-held mobile phones should not be used in a workplace where they may pose a safety risk.  For example:  where use may interfere with equipment in hospitals and aircraft; and in potentially explosive atmospheres, including blasting operations and fuelling areas such as petrol stations.
