As a result, there may not be much time to react to a dangerous moment. A person who is distracted by his or her phone can make a mistake operating something or may be unable to react in time to an accident or problem that affects him or her. Even under the best circumstances, it takes a lot of awareness and quick thinking to minimize danger in an industrial workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Even as construction sites have gotten more automated and complex, the presence of smartphones has meant that workers are at higher risk for dangerous accidents if they do not pay close attention to what is happening around them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For workplaces in Illinois, digital distraction is becoming an increasingly dangerous problem.
