The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 obliges employers to provide employees with hearing protection in loud working environments. Noise levels above 85 decibels (dB) are considered excessive and can damage a person’s hearing.
Ear plugs and ear defenders are PPE that dulls sounds to acceptable levels. The HSE recommends that you assess noise risk factors and acquire the appropriate ear plugs and ear defenders.
Ear plugs and ear defenders provide different levels of hearing protection. Our expertly selected ear defenders include:
- JSP Sonis Helmet Mounted Ear Muffs that dull sounds to either 27, 32, or 37 dB, depending on the noise levels in the workplace. You can mount these ear defenders on any JSP safety helmet.
- Folding earmuffs with an adjustable headband to ensure a snug fit, as well as the ability to dull sounds to 30dB. This set features self-aligning ear cups that help to sustain maximum attenuation.
Extreme noise levels warrant the issuing of ear plugs. You can choose between cleanable and reusable ear plugs that can be used multiple times or single-use, disposable ear plugs. Safetyshop’s extensive range of disposable ear plugs and reusable ear plugs include:
- The Howard Leight Laser Lite Foam Ear Plugs, which are corded so that they can be easily hung around your neck comfortably when they are not needed. These ear plugs reduce noise and protect the ear canal.
- The Moldex Rockets Hypoallergenic Ear Plugs that dull noises to a safe level of 30dB.
Safetyshop also stock ear plug dispensers. The dispenser has a bright yellow design to remind workers to use them. These can be ideal for the workplace where having a supply ready helps to remind staff and makes them easily accessible for all. They are ready to be mounted to the wall and come with the fixings needed.
FAQs
Why do I need ear defenders?
As an employer you have a legal duty to ensure the safety of your employees. That includes warning your employees of hearing protection zones with excessive noise that may damage their hearing. You are required to provide hearing protection, such as ear defenders, for your employees to protect themselves from excessive noise in these areas.Do I need earplugs or ear defenders?
Choosing the appropriate ear protection for various activities and work environments can be confusing. This choice mainly depends on the level of noise and the degree of required ear protection.Ear defenders, or ear muffs, are easy to put on and take off. They can also be worn or combined with protective helmets. Ear defenders provide less protection than ear plugs, but work well in colder climates and construction or similar work.
Ear plugs fit snugly into the ear canal and therefore provide better protection than ear defenders. Ear plugs are needed in very noisy environments like factories and airports.
