Low Attenuation Products

E.A.R and Peltor have launched and will launch a new range of lower attenuating products to fulfil the needs of employees working at lower noise levels. It is as important to ensure workers are not over protected, as it is to make sure they have adequate protection.  Over protected workers may feel isolated, may not be able to hear warning signals, can not converse with fellow workers. The likely outcome from this is the workers will remove their hearing protectors from time to time, which defeats the object of supplying hearing protection.

Compliance at the lower noise levels will prove a challenge as workers will not realise the danger, many will experience these levels in their day to day lives outside of the work place (nightclubs, power tools, car stereos, e.t.c.).
