Why Are Ear Plug Dispensers Important?


Health and safety regulations require that you provide hearing protection to employees and visitors to your workplace when exposed to noise exceeding 85 decibels (dB). Reusable and disposable ear plugs eliminate or dull loud and continuous noise and effectively protect against premature hearing loss.

People often misplace or forget their ear plugs. You can solve this problem by placing ear plug dispensers in strategic places on your premises.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) warns against the dangers of loud noises and prolonged exposure to noise as leading causes of premature loss of hearing. Along with the provision of ear protectors, you should also inform employees and visitors about:

  • Why should you issue ear protectors such as ear plugs?

  • Where and how these ear protectors should be used?

  • How and where ear protectors can be obtained?


Employers therefore have a duty to ensure that employees and visitors have ready access to ear protectors. Ear plug dispensers are an effective method of making ear plugs available.

You should make sure that your ear plug dispensers are conveniently placed and regularly inspected and topped up. Analyses show that the convenient and visible placement of earplug dispensers promotes and improves the compliance of employees to follow noise-related procedures and controls.

Using an ear plug dispenser is much easier than simply keeping ear plugs in a box or bowl, which inevitably leads to them being dropped on the floor or knocked over. You can avoid these mishaps and the resultant contamination of ear plugs by providing ear plug dispensers. Choosing the dispenser best suited to your needs, however, may require a little more thought.


Selecting the Right Ear Plug Dispenser

The first criterion to consider is how you want to position your dispenser. Some are designed to be moved around easily and are ideal for off-site work, having sufficient resilience that they will not come to harm when packed into a van with your other equipment.

Our classic one-touch disposable ear plug dispenser is a versatile dispenser that you can either wall-mount, stand on a shelf or table, or take with you as a portable carrier to wherever the job takes you. It comes with a no-waste funnel that drops the ear plugs directly into your hands. This unit holds 500 pairs of ear plugs.

Others are designed to be stored on a table or shelving unit, or affixed to a wall. This makes it possible to position them adjacent to our ear protection safety signs to emphasise the importance of using ear plugs.

You might even choose to purchase a full ear protection station and get your employees into the habit of stopping at it as they progress into the area where loud work is done. Our expertly selected Moldex ear plug dispenser station has an easy-to-use lever that dispenses the ear plugs. The unit is completely sealed to protect the encased ear plugs from contamination such as splashes in kitchens or oils in engine workshops.

We stock ear plug dispensers made from a wide range of materials. Some are designed to hold small packets, so can be used for individually wrapped pairs of ear plugs. We also stock a wall bracket that’s tough enough to be mounted in places such as warehouses. These can be used with our ear plug dispensers to help prevent the dispenser being knocked by passing pallet trucks and lifters. Others are transparent, making it easy for you to check when stock is running low and refill them accordingly.

  • Our health and safety experts recommend the Howard Leight Universal Aluminium Ear Plug Dispenser. This heavy-duty and long-lasting ear plug dispenser is ideal for factories and noisy workshops. Wall-mount or place it on a table or shelf at entrances. Employees and visitors will easily spot this highly visible blue dispenser.

  • Seton’s transparent range of hearing protection dispensers accommodate individually sealed pairs of earplugs. Employees and visitors can easily access this through the drop compartment. You can wall-mount these dispensers to save space and make them more visible and accessible.

  • The Uvex Ear Plug Dispenser is a transparent dispenser for colour-coded ear plugs indicating the level of decibel protection provided. Simply twist the no-waste funnel to collect the required noise-cancelling ear plugs. This ear plug dispenser box holds 600 pairs of ear plugs, which makes it suitable for high-traffic noise areas.


You will find refill packs also conveniently available in our selection. When employees can see that there is a good supply of ear plugs available, they are more likely to use new ones when they should, and less likely to take risks by carelessly reusing old ones.

You should educate employees regarding reusable and disposable ear plugs. Use hearing protection signage to indicate whether ear plugs are suitable for single or multiple use. Our expertly chosen Uvex X-Fit ear plug refills contain different ear plugs for different levels of hearing protection. Employees can combine these with ear muffs.

Some ear plug dispensers are easier to use than others if your employees are also wearing safety gloves. Ideally, all personal protection equipment will be put on at once, in which case ear plugs can go in first, but the reality is that ear plugs do sometimes fall out at work and need to be replaced with new ones, so it is useful to have a dispenser that is easy to operate under all circumstances.

Using an ear plug dispenser makes it much easier to maintain good workplace hygiene, though you will, of course, need to ensure that you can clean the dispenser itself effectively, especially if it is being used somewhere like a laboratory or a kitchen. It will keep the ear plugs themselves clean up to the point of use, and reduce the risk of ear infections.

Our wide range of ear plug dispensers means that you have plenty to choose from and should have no difficulty in finding a good fit for your workplace.
