These earplugs reduce and deflect loud noises by sitting inside and protecting the ears. Each earplug has an SNR (Single Number Rating) to ensure it can be used at the appropriate noise levels to ensure it works effectively in reducing the risk of hearing damage. Earplugs or ear protection as part of PPE workwear is generally used by the following industries: • Construction • Factory production • Maintenance engineers • Extreme industrial noise • Aircraft • Quarrying • Paper mills • Heavy engineering Standards and Certifications: • EN 352-2 (SNR 26dB) • CE-CAT III Do earplugs block out sound? Earplugs reduce the amount of sound coming through from loud or repetitive noises that could potentially damage an individual’s hearing or cause hearing loss. They do not completely block out noise, however, when selecting the correct earplugs, it can reduce the risk of damage to hearing. When should ear protection be worn? Generally, ear protection should be worn when working with loud or repetitive noises that measure above 85 decibels over an 8-hour time period. There are, however, parameters that are set by the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) that consider the exposed time period to noises over 85 decibels and when hearing protection is absolutely essential. What is the best noise reduction rating (NRR)? The highest NRR rating for earplugs is 33. Combined with ear defenders, this rating can increase to an even higher rating of 36. Why RS PRO?
