In my experience, ear buds are allowed if working with loud equipment such as vacuum=A0pump.=A0 Constant loudness is a safety hazard in itself and can be minimized by use of ear buds for a short time of loud instrument/equipm ent usage.

In my experience, ear buds are allowed if wor king 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 i n a teaching or research lab either, but we ban them as well.  Not onl y for safety reasons but also because of the impression it makes when we ha ve client or regulatory agency audits.

How many of you have a policy banning ear buds in laboratories?

 

Does it apply only to Undergrad teaching labs, or does it extend into research labs?
