Industrial hearing protection

Health and safety regulations currently state that in any work situation an individual can be exposed to a sound pressure level of 85dB for a maximum of 8 hours. At this level, the employer must make hearing protection available. Where the noise level exceeds 90dB it then becomes a legal requirement of the employer to provide adequate hearing protection and ensure that it is used, along with proper training. No unprotected employee may be exposed to peak sound levels in excess of 140dB.

In 2005 these levels will be reduced to 80dB, 85dB and 120dB respectively. We can provide the ER series earplugs with filter strengths of 15dB and 25dB, workfit (Biopact) earplugs and Duocom communication systems.
