• There are different options for different applications
• There are different options for different people          (Protection that fits men & women equally well)
• Do your Workers really know how & Why to use Hearing Protection?

Underestimating the noise intensity by only 3 dB means doubling the noise to which the user is exposed. An even larger error could devastate the eardrums, causing permanent hearing damage.

That's why it's important to understand the NRR - how it works, how to calculate it, and why you should derate it.

The NRR isn't a straightforward measure and is not perfect by any means. When evaluating noise protection options, it's best to err on the safe side. Don't rely on the number on the packaging. Derate it and add extra protection if you need to.

The construction industry in the United States poses significant hazards, including high levels of noise exposure. It is crucial to conduct a risk assessment when evaluating hearing protection to identify potential hazards, assess risk, and select appropriate measures to eliminate or control risks. A risk assessment determines the level of noise exposure and required protection, factors affecting the effectiveness of protection, and the selection of appropriate hearing protection. Properly fitted and maintained hearing protection is necessary to ensure workers' safety, health, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
