> Hi Everyone,
>    We are in the process of reviewing our safety policy as it regards to the use of headphones / earphones in our facility.  Our current policy restricts the use of headphones / earphones in the facility however we do allow cell phones use.  This policy was mainly targeted to prevent users from listening to music while they are working as it can be a significant distraction and can lead to potential accidents.   Since we allow cell phones and the earphones are used for talking on the phone users are asking us to allow them but if we do it would be difficult for the staff to oversee the policy without checking up on every user who is wearing the earphones for use with the cell phone to ensure they aren’t listening to music.  I would be interested in seeing what policies other facilities have in regards to this issue.
