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.

Earbud policy in Labs
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...........

Earbud policy in Labs
How 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?
