Don't believe there are any requirements, but I have found that operators that listen to radio programming that requires some focus to follow a program, like talk radio or "Soaps" as opposed to just background music, make orders of magnitude more errors.

I'm wondering if there is interference with possible damage to components from these radios. Until recently the stuffing line employees were allowed to have them as well as other assemblers. Is there an ESD standard or something? Anything would be helpful. Thanks P.
