In this age of technology, it is a challenge to ensure telecommunications security rules are not inadvertently violated. Cell phone incidents were up and the Production organization was a major contributor to the number of incidents in the Plant. Management challenged personnel to come up with an idea that would help employees remember to check to make sure they did not have cell phones in pockets or bags being carried in to the site.
After some brainstorming to come up with ideas, two new ideas were born: 1) A button with the no cell phone logo, and 2) A lanyard that asks "Where is your cell phone?"
These items were made available to every member of the division to wear as visible reminders to check for cell phones prior to going in to work. Additionally, division personnel took responsibility for standing at portals to remind others coming in to work to check for cell phones.
