Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Earbud policy in Labs
In my experience, ear buds are allowed if working with loud equipment such as vacuum pump. Constant loudness is a safety hazard in itself and can be minimized by use of ear buds for a short time of loud instrument/equipment usage.

I am not in a teaching or research lab either, but we ban them as well. Not only for safety reasons but also because of the impression it makes when we have client or regulatory agency audits.

We are neither a teaching or a research lab, but we do prohibit earbuds in our lab. Folks need to maintain awareness of what's going on around them...........

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Earbud policy in LabsHow many of you have a policy banning earbuds in laboratories?
Does it apply only to Undergrad teaching labs, or does it extend into research labs?
