So - who's answering the phone(s)? Listening to automation/instrumentation
for abnormal sounds (e.g. slides crashing on auto coverslipper)? Responding
to co-workers work related queries? Just my opinion, but a histology lab is
a professional workplace, not an entertainment center. (Radio's set so that
they do not interfere with work flow should do the trick!).

P.S. Of course, if your lab doubles as a secretarial area, and that is where
the pathology transcription takes place - then that is another whole
matter....)

	They might not hear a pathologist coming until it's too late!

	Does anyone know if there are any safety issues or requirements with
people 
	wearing headphones in the histology lab?

	Thanks
