Hearing protection simplified
May 5th 2006

Under the New noise legislation employers must provide suitable hearing protection where noise exceeds 80dB(A) and wearing is compulsory over 90dB(A), many employees not affected under previous legislation will now have to be considered. Choosing the correct hearing protection for your needs can be a difficult process. You need to be certain that you are providing the correct level of protection for the noise level. It is employers’ responsibility to ensure that workers are not over protected and that a suitable product is chosen for the job. With this in mind E.A.R and Peltor have devised an easy-to-use selection system that aids the correct choice of protection for the noise level.

The system uses a simple, logically coloured classification to make the selection process easy. Firstly find out what your noise level is, then establish which band (RNR) the noise level falls into. Take note of this icon and choose from the wide range of products E.A.R and Peltor have to offer ensuring that the relevant symbol is displayed. There is a choice of earplugs, banded earplugs and earmuffs for each of the noise bands.
