My former lab implemented a rule that headphones could be used but the music could not be so loud and the headphones could not be so noise-cancelling that you couldn't hear someone yell a warning at you from the far side of the lab.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Policy on wearing headphones in the lab

Does anyone have any insight into regulating the use of headphones while working in the lab? Are there any official regulations, or do universities have to develop their own policy for headphone use? A faculty member reached out to our department concerned how students become "plugged in" and distracted from their surroundings when listening to music and Podcasts while in the lab.
