3M™ E-A-R™ Classic Disposable Ear Plugs SNR28

Severe exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. As an employer, it is your responsibility to identify and assess the hazards present in your facility. So how can you determine if your employees are at risk from dangerous noise levels? Below is a short list of things that might help you consider noise issues in your workplace.

Are your employees regularly exposed to intrusive noise?
Do you need to shout to carry out a normal conversation even when you are not too far from the other person?
Do you work in an industry that makes use of heavy machinery such as construction, engineering, demolition, road repair, textile manufacturing, canning, bottling, and the likes?
Are your employees exposed to noisy powered tools and machines?
Do you constantly use warning or alert sounds in your facility?
Do you work in an area with too much mobile machinery and traffic?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, then you'll need to consider using protective hearing equipment. Earmuffs, earplugs and ear canals can be very useful in blocking excessive noise and protecting your workers from hearing loss or damage. These come in different styles, designs and functions that will certainly fit on-site requirements.
