Subject: Cellphone in Labs
We forbid cellphones that have picture taking capabilities from within
any building.
For DoD secure areas, all cellphones, 2-way radios and anything that can
record audio are prohibited.
Otherwise, 2-way radios and NEXTELs are used in-house and basic
cellphones are permitted.
More from a security perspective, as opposed to an ESH view.
Thank you,

Subject: cell phones in labs
Hello all,
I am interested in some feedback on cell phones in laboratories. I
don't believe the "static spark - fire" is too big of an issue as we
really
don't have very much in the way of flammables due to the nature of our
work. My problem is more about distraction and chemical hygiene.
Supervisors (and myself) were finding employees talking away while
handling
hazardous materials. We also saw employees reaching into their pockets
and
handling phones immediately upon ringing...while their hands were still
gloved much less not washed.
We have forbid cell phones in our labs but are receiving a fair
amount of complaints about the new rule. Has anyone had any similar
experiences or comments they could add?
Thank you for any help in advance.
