Are underground train drivers allowed to use personal hi fi's


Personal hifi's what?

The answer is, no they are not allowed to use personal hifis (or mobile
phones for that matter).

I've seen them wearing foam earplugs (which presumably is ok?),
especially on the Vic line.

From what I seem to remember, H&S regulations state (Something along
the lines of...) that the workplace must provide ear-plugs for workers
exposed to sounds of over 85DB in the workplace. In our studio we are
provided with them for this reason...
