One Stop Safety Services offers a comprehensive range of hearing protection for a wide range of applications from disposable earplugs  to hi-tech Electronic earmuffs. All the hearing products we offer are designed to provide comfort, protection and ease of use.

The loss of hearing is a gradual process. Excessive levels of noise can damage the sensory ‘hair’ cells in our ears over a long period of time. Damage to these cells results in a loss of our ability to hear certain sounds. Hearing loss caused by exposure to noise at work continues to be a significant occupational illness. Recent research estimates 170,000 people in the UK suffer deafness, tinnitus and other ear conditions due to exposure to excessive noise at work 

How can hearing protection be used effectively?

• make sure the protectors give enough protection - aim at least to get below 85 dB at the ear;
• target the use of protectors to the noisy tasks and jobs in a working day;
• select protectors which are suitable for the working environment - consider how comfortable and hygienic they are;
• think about how they will be worn with other protective equipment (eg hard hats, dust masks and eye protection);
• provide a range of protectors so that employees can choose ones which suit them.

Don't:

• provide protectors which cut out too much noise - this can cause isolation, or lead to an unwillingness to wear them;
• make the use of hearing protectors compulsory where the law doesn't require it;
• have a 'blanket' approach to hearing protection - better to target its use and only encourage people to wear it when they need to.
