Ear Protection Signs

Need Ear Protection Signs? Large Range – Fast Delivery

Ear protection in the workplace is a major health and safety issue and it is one that employers should not ignore. Health and safety signage can advise people about the areas of the workplace in which they should be using ear protection and when they should put it on.

Damage to hearing can very rarely be reversed, so it is very important not to take any risks, particularly when the right hearing protection can reduce the possibility of any damage. Our range of Ear Protection Signs can help you to ensure that the employees, visitors and members of the public present on your site are made aware of any potential risks.

Ear Protection Signs – Everything You Need to Know


According to the HSE, more than 2 million people in Great Britain work in environments with excess noise levels that are harmful to their hearing. Based on available data, hearing loss claims against liability insurance happen frequently across UK workplaces.

Gear such as ear defenders can prevent hearing damage, including tinnitus and deafness. In noisy environments where it is difficult to issue verbal warnings, ear protection signs serve as a visual reminder to take the necessary precautions.

Seton’s eye-catching hearing protection signage boosts health and safety in your workplace. It also increases productivity by limiting legal- and medical-based absenteeism.

ISO-Compliant Ear Protection Signs

Our ear protection signs comply with the ISO 7010 standard. This means that they communicate a universal message that anyone can interpret at a glance and are highly visible. When buying ear protection signs, you must consider the layout and size of your facility.

For busy spaces, such as warehouses, Seton’s health and safety experts recommend a hanging ‘wear ear protection’ sign. Made from foamed rigid plastic, these ear protection signs are lightweight for easy handling yet durable for use in heavy-duty environments

Health and Safety


It is the responsibility of every employer to ensure that their workforce is adequately protected from the health and safety risks found in each workplace. Ear Protection Signs are informative signs that tell workers and visitors that particular areas of the workplace require the use of hearing protection such as Ear Muffs or Ear Plugs.

The ‘Hearing Protection Must Be Worn’ Sign is a popular option. Using a universal pictogram and concise written message, it clearly displays the need for hearing PPE. You will find these signs in singles or multipacks, depending on the size, layout, and needs of your workplace.

It could also be the case that certain equipment can pose a risk, one that might not be evident when not in use. Signage such as our ‘Wear Ear Protectors When Operating This Machine’ Signs make it clear that a particular piece of equipment should not be used unless wearing ear protection.

When Should Hearing Protection Be Worn?


In the UK, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, often called the Noise Regulations, determine the level of noise at which employers must provide hearing protection for workers. If daily or weekly noise exposure averages 85 decibels, employers must provide hearing protection and hearing protection zones.

Health assessments and noise training must be done at 80 decibels. Also, the exposure limit value is 87 decibels and workers should not be exposed to this.

Without ear protection signs, people often overlook PPE such as ear defenders or ear plugs and hearing protection zones. A simple ‘wear ear protection’ sign or ‘hearing protection zone’ sign effectively prompts people to don the necessary ear protection.

Seton stocks hearing protection signage for any setup, whether you run an office or a bustling logistics centre. Pedestrians and warehouse vehicle drivers can easily spot our attention-grabbing anti-slip floor signs. These hardy white-on-red ear protection signs offer long-lasting durability in tough environments.

What Is a Hearing Protection Zone?


A hearing protection zone is an area where ear protection PPE is a must. It is essential to identify these zones with a ‘hearing protection must be worn’ sign, a ‘hearing protection zone’ sign, or other applicable ear protection signs.

The nature of business activities and types of machinery and vehicles used all play a role in the identification of hearing protection zones in a setting. The floor of a noisy manufacturing plant, for instance, is a hearing protection zone.

You can even combine different signs to emphasise your safety message. Mount a hearing protection zone sign just before the entry point of the area and use ear protection signs next to items such as ear protection shadow boards.

Our ear protection guidance signs inform and instruct people by detailing the noise levels and mitigating steps required for a specific zone. These all-in-one solutions eliminate the need for multiple signs and save wall space in confined areas.

Warn of the Risks


Though some signs mandate the use of Ear Protection Equipment, the repercussions of not doing so are not always clear and so sometimes these can be ignored. By using dramatic warning messages, such as those used on our ‘You Only Have One Pair Of Ears! Protect Them’ Signs, you can provide a reminder that if they do not do the right thing by wearing ear protection then the damage will last forever.

You can also opt for a sign that warns of a noise hazard, with the widely-recognised yellow warning triangle and the information all on the one sign. Our ‘Noise Hazard/Ear Protectors Available On Request’ Signs can ensure that workers and visitors are warned of the dangers and given the choice to opt for ear protection or not.

You can use these signs in conjunction with floor signs such as our ‘This Is An Ear Protection Zone’ Anti-Slip Floor Signs to create a zone in the workplace where staff and visitors will have no doubt as to the risks of entering without wearing the right ear protection.

Materials and Fixings


All of our Safety Signs are made to meet the latest industry standards and regulations. Our range of durable materials mean that you can be sure that your purchase will last for years to come.

See our Sign Fixings to see what options are available to make sure your signs will stay securely in place including indoor and outdoor applications as well as magnetic options for use on machinery or shelving units.

Our selection of signs covers the vast majority of hearing protection messages you may need. However, if for any reason you determine none of the products are suitable for your needs, try out our custom sign service and design your own signs down to the very last detail including text, symbols, images and even corporate logos.

Ear protection signs are the first step in protecting the hearing of workers and visitors to your site. At Seton, you will find exactly what you need for your business.
