Hearing Protection Proper Use Guidelines

We stock a large variety of Hearing Protection products depending on the level of protection needed and the application. Our online catalogue gives you a basic idea of the different products we carry but does not list every option available.

When selecting proper Hearing Protection, we recommend you consider the following practices:

• Ensure users understand NRR’s (Noise Reduction Ratings) and how they apply to their work environment.
• Perform regular noise level testing throughout your facility to determine accurate exposure levels.
• Ensure design is adequate for the expected environment.
• Ensure equipment is comfortable when worn in its intended environment.
• When choosing style and type of hearing protection, ask about product features and benefits from your safety supplier to make an informed decision.
• Ensure design is durable enough for the expected work conditions.
• Employee feedback is important for an effective hearing conservation program; ask user(s) questions about comfort and usage when determining appropriate protection.
• Ensure equipment is easy to inspect, clean, and disinfect when applicable.
