1 Hearing Protection COMFORT INNOVATION PERFORMANCE PROTECTION Make the right choice

2 Marking System If the noise hazard is 108 db and the hearing protector is 24 then the result =84 db then the below 85dB regulation is achieved db 108 db - 24 = 84 db 84 db NRR [Noise Reduction Rating] This rating is used in the United States, [Single Number Rating] This rating number is used by the European Union and affiliated countries SLC80 [Sound Level Conversion] The SLC80 is a rating number used in Australia and New Zealand HEARING LOSS Hearing loss, caused by exposure to noise at work, continues to be a significant occupational illness despite the improvements made for comfort and attenuation. Hearing protection can play a vital part in avoiding occupational hearing loss. Comfort and ease of use play a role as economical, practical noise protection that conforms to the local legislation is the priority. Hearing loss can be gradual because of exposure to noise over time, but damage can be caused suddenly by extremely loud noises. The damage is disabling as it can stop people being able to understand speech, keep up with conversations or it may develop into tinnitus (ringing, whistling, buzzing or humming in the ears), a distressing condition which can lead to disturbed sleep. EXPOSURE & PROTECTION Here is a rule of thumb, If you must shout to be understood over the background noise when standing about 1 meter away from somebody, that background noise is hazardous. using EN352 Hearing protectors - Safety requirements and testing these problems can be easily prevented. Protection is required if the noise is over 85dB. Below 75dB is non-hazardous. Noise regulations define exposure action values in lower and upper values. The amount of time exposed to the noise hazard also determines the level of protection required. TYPICAL NOISE MEASUREMENTS HARMFUL RANGE SAFE AREA RISK AREA HRS 480 Stun grenade Rocket launching Rifle shot (1m) Shotgun Immediate physical damage Balloon popping Aircraft engine (30m) Maximum allowable exposure Riveting hammer Air raid siren Immediate pain threshold Vuvuzela Punch press Chainsaw Unprotected not allowed Nail gun Blasting Foundry rumble Jack hammer Machine shop Grinding and cutting wheel Blast chiller Pig house when feeding Sandblasting Crushing mill Drilling concrete Industrial fire alarm Hearing protection required Hair dryer Hand saw Vacuum cleaner Non-hazardous Inside a car Normal conversation Comfortable sound Refrigerator Whisper Audible sound Normal breathing Zero Improved protection can be obtained by wearing a combination of earplugs and earmuffs. In general the most useful combination is a high performance earplug with a moderate performance earmuff. In practice the increase in attenuation expected from dual protection will be no more than 6dB over the better of the protectors HRS HRS HRS DECIBEL db

Notified Body Number CONFORMITY Manufactured to EN 352-1:1993 ear muffs as per the requirements of Council Directive 89/686/EEC personal protective equipment, article 10, EC type examination. PACKAGING & STORAGE Packed 15 each per carton. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS Protection will only be offered if the earmuff is fitted correctly. Earmuffs may deteriorate with use and should be examined at frequent intervals. Do not apply paint, solvents, adhesives or self adhesive labels, except in accordance with instructions from the manufacturer. Before selection of a suitable ear defender a noise survey should be carried out. Hearing protection should be used in accordance with the European Physical Agents (Noise) Directive 2003/10/EC. The user must read and familiarize themselves with the correct uses of the product as directed on the packaging. EN 458, a European guidance document that gives hearing protector recommendations, suggests selecting hearing protection devises that reduce the level of exposure to the ear to between 70 and 85 decibels A weighted sound level (dba). If a protector with too high an attenuates noise to below 70 dba, the wearer also is overprotected and is at risk of missing key alarms and instructions. All information is supplied with the intention of the user to select the correct protection after considering the hazards of the work area or operation. Further to this the relevant Materials Safety Data Sheets & Occupational Exposure limits must be consulted and together with the local standards and measured hazards the correct protection can be selected. This information is to be used as general guide only. This information should be read in conjunction with any and all standard referred to.
