I could not work with out music. Nothing like cutting to the rhythm of good music. I have it on all the time or I would go nuts and probably fall asleep. I set my radio to one radio station. I am the Chief Cook and bottle washer so no one to bother with the music. If someone wants to play hard core obscene music let them put it on their Ipod so not everyone can here it. I would make a rule that they have to be able to hear if someone is talking to them.

I would like to know what other histology laboratories allow for music players while working. Do you have formal policies about music content or volume? Do you allow lab space doors to remain closed to muffle the volume of what is being played? Are headsets allowed? I am a terrible judge of this because I personally prefer to work in a quiet environment. I am trying to be open minded, as long as the work gets done. However, one of the techs had a song playing today that I believe was inappropriate for general listening in the lab. Am I just out of touch? Is that dang "F" word just something I'm going to have to learn to accept? Do you have a written policy? When/how/why was it implemented? I should mention that it's a small private lab, with minimal patient traffic. We do see our share of FedEx, UPS, sales & service reps. Your ideas on this is very much appreciated.
