No. Personal headphones, earbuds, and listening devices are not allowed in the shop, and personal phones may only be used during breaks or with supervisor approval.

 


 

** The following is an excerpt directly from the LWG Safety Manual**

Personal Headphones & Devices

To protect team member safety and maintain clear communication in high-risk work environments, personal electronic device use is restricted. The following guidelines ensure that devices do not create dangerous distractions or interfere with situational awareness on the shop floor.

 

Prohibited Conduct Includes:

  • Personal Headphones and Listening Devices: Personal listening devices (e.g., earbuds, Bluetooth headsets) are strictly prohibited in the shop. These devices create communication barriers and increase safety risks.

  • Use of Personal Phones or Devices During Work Hours: Personal phones may only be used during breaks or with supervisor approval. Phones must be silenced and stowed during work hours. Devices must not interfere with situational awareness or communication.
