Hearing loss is food for thought
May 1st 2009 During a typical year, almost 5% of
food manufacture workers suffer
from ill health caused by or made
worse by work.Hearing loss is one of
the main causes.
3M recently launched the Optime
Alert System, which is a portable
sound measuring system that helps
customers select the appropriate type
of hearing protective equipment for
use in particular areas.
3M also has a range of hearing
protection designed specifically for
the food industry, which are
hygienic, metal detectable and can be
readily cleaned.
3M's EARsoft Metal Detectable
disposable plug offers comfort due to
its soft, smooth construction, coupled
with maximum protection for high
noise environments. Added benefits
for the food industry include it being
non-food blue and containing a blue
metal detectable cord and an integral
stainless steel ball.
