Not sure if a mobile phone is adequate for safety purposes but anyone being asked to use a personal cell phone for work should be aware that there are legal implications of doing so. As I understand once one uses their personal device for
a business purpose it is then treated as a business device for legal reasons. If an employer wants an employee to use a cell phone then the employer should provide said phone and it should only be used for business.
Best,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [DCHAS-L] telephone requirement question
Is a personal mobile phone considered an adequate communication device for a worker in a chemistry lab or chemical waste storage area? My employer is considering getting rid
of most of the landlines that we have in the labs, and I could not find a specific regulation on if landlines are required.
