01Prepare the view
Assess whether ear-level detail is visible.
Review ear-worn devices in context
Small earphones are difficult to resolve, while approved hearing protection or radio headsets may look similar. Validate equipment classes and local rules before using an observation to request a check.
Catalog workflow. Confirm detector availability, permitted use and event delivery for the proposed deployment. Website examples are illustrative.

How It Works
Distinguish communications, hearing protection and personal use Apply audible-awareness rules to the correct equipment.
01
02Assess the observation
Test approved PPE and communication devices against candidate classes.
03Review the evidence
Review item and task context rather than relying on the label.
04Choose a response
Verify authorization and follow the applicable hearing/safety policy.

| Dimension |  Earphone and headset usage |  Phone Usage Detection |
|---|---|---|
| Observation |  A visible earphone or headset-like item. | A visible phone held or used near a person. |
| Event criteria | A supported detector identifies the agreed device class in scope. | A supported detector observes the agreed phone-use pattern in scope. |
| Monitoring setup | Confirm approved hearing protection, radios and restricted activities. | Validate device exceptions, area and active period. |
| What it cannot establish | Cannot establish audio playback, volume or whether warnings were heard. | Cannot determine what someone is viewing or whether they are distracted. |
| Practical outcome | Help teams review device exceptions without confusing protective equipment. | Help supervisors review a specific device-use rule. |

Can it tell what someone is listening to?
No. That is not visually established.
Are earmuffs a violation?
Not inherently; they may be required PPE.
Can small earbuds be missed?
Yes. Visibility and resolution are critical.
Are radio headsets allowed?
The local task policy determines permitted equipment.
