Industrial Deafness – It can be stopped!

Industrial Deafness – What is it?

Industrial deafness is hearing loss due to a working environment where you are not fully protected from high levels of noise. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have Noise: Employers responsibilities – legal duties that if a workplace is 85 dB or above, hearing protection is mandatory – if the levels are 80 dB then advice and options should be given. Companies must now abide under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

How Can it be Prevented?

Noise Control – The noise can be controlled by reducing or eliminating it at source, so the noise will be below the mandatory/advisory level.

Hearing Protection – providing hearing protection to employees is another option, there are many forms of protection used such as disposables, ear defenders and custom moulded ear plugs.

How can ProtectHear® help?

Our ear plugs fully protect all users as they are perfectly suited to each individual. The soft silicone makes it a comfortable product that can be worn all day, yet still allow communication, whilst attenuating loud noises to a safe level. Our main product is a step in the right direction for preventing any future claims as a result of industrial deafness.

This clever technology allows you to communicate when needed with the product, and is equipped with volume settings.

Industrial ear plugs explained in the Steel Industry…

Industrial ear plugs in the Steel Industry

ProtectHear® industrial ear plugs are used in well known named workplaces such as William Hare, Tata Steel, Alcoa etc. Hearing protection is a must in these types of working areas and ProtectHear® is great for attenuating noises to a safe non-harmful level, whilst still allowing communication. Our product can be worn with all forms of PPE that is required in industrial environments.

William Hare

We are proud suppliers to William Hare and have been now for 9 years, Jean Collison said “The product protects from factory noise but enables workers to still hear warning bells, which is critical. Although background noise is reduced, speech can still be heard, which is extremely useful.”Ears can breathe healthily with our product and ProtectHear® is the step in the right direction to prevent Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). ProtectHear® has a five year lifespan, and the savings made in comparison to disposables are significant.

The two main types of ear plugs we offer are a vented 29 SNR and a solid 31 SNR (Single Noise Rating). The 29 SNR allows users to communicate whilst working. Whereas the 31 SNR has an added level of protection for higher levels of noise. Which might be required from some industrial earplugs. Jean also mentioned how we promote not just the product but the education into businesses. “They also go the extra mile by helping us promote a sensible health and safety culture internally; they have been involved in some very helpful toolbox talks which clearly state the benefits of the product to our employees when it comes to hearing protection”.
