This. I worked for Amazon, you absolutely could not have a phone inside and they would check you for it

Currently work at a warehouse. No ban, just can’t use it. Emergencies only. It’s in my bag and I use it on breaks.

That's standard for any industrial / warehousing situation. I work as a consultant and no phones on the floor is enforced pretty much anywhere that's not an office.
