Hearing Protection

OSHA recommends ear protection for workers who are exposed to excessive noise, which is defined as noise that exceeds 85 decibels. Exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent hearing loss – which cannot be corrected by surgery or a hearing aid.

Workers on construction sites and other industrial jobs may be surrounded by noisy operations on a regular basis. EquipSupply offers many of the best noise protectors on the market – both disposable and reusable. Headphones and earplugs may also be used for non-industrial purposes like hunting, yard work, and even for fireworks.

Employers may consider providing them to employees who will be affected by prolonged periods of noise.
