The aim of this paper is to investigate accidents and
close call situations connected to the use of mobile phones in
workingage people ≥ 50 years old. The paper is part of a crosssectional
study that was carried out in 2002 in 15,000 workingage
Finns. The study showed that mobilephonerelated accidents and
close call situations, both at work and at leisure, are more common in
people under 50 years that in people ≥ 50 years old. However, people
under 50 use mobile phones more than those aged ≥ 50.
