[Histonet] Use of cellular (mobile) phones in the Lab

[Kemlo Rogerson]

I gather that the analogue phones were the ones implicated in causing
problems; as far as I am aware the digital ones don't unless they are in the
very close vicinity of sensitive equipment. Here it is not allowed to have
your phones on as Intensive Care is above our heads, literally.

That phones addle your brain is another matter and looking at some of our
youngsters I wonder.

I have mixed feelings on the cell phone issue. So far, it has not been
enough of an interruption to have to form a policy or limit it. It might be
a matter of, do the employees have access  to a phone & time to make
personal phone calls?

On another slightly "off topic" - how do people feel about the use of
portable music devices by co-workers??
