It depends on where employee request to wear ear-set, if in the office that should not be a problem, but if the request is from the production area where noise is normally higher than others. That will be a problem. Communicate to them that we have two big concerns:
1. Emergency, since in the loud area, they would set at high volume for effectively listening, that could be interrupt them from emergency alarm...this reason is for their own safety.
2. Health.. listen by putting earset for long time could introduce hearing loss, since we, Safety officers, cannot be able to adjust the suitable loudness for them...if hearing loss happens, it's too tough to prove that is work related...then the compensation might not be able to claimed.
this should be transfer to them, it's our concern for their safety and health..
