Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Hearing Protection
We offer both reusable and disposable earplugs. Reusable models can be washed and used multiple times, while disposable ones are intended for single-use only.
Yes, our hearing protection products comply with EN352 standards and are approved by SIRIM-DOSH in Malaysia.
No, our hearing protection products are designed to reduce harmful noise levels while still allowing you to hear important sounds, like alarms or verbal instructions in your workplace.
Earplugs are inserted into the ear canal to create a seal, while earmuffs cover the ears externally to block out noise. Both offer effective hearing protection, but the choice depends on personal preference and the level of noise exposure.
The choice depends on your work environment. Earplugs are suitable for lower noise levels and can be more comfortable for extended wear, while earmuffs provide greater protection in high-noise environments.
While the NRR is specific to the United States and calculated differently, the SNR is used in Europe and provides a single value that represents the average noise reduction across different frequencies.
Replace earplugs when they become worn, dirty, or damaged. Earmuffs should be replaced if the ear cushions or headband loses elasticity, typically after a few years of use.
Reusable earplugs can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Earmuffs should be wiped down with a damp cloth, avoiding the use of harsh chemicals. Always store them in a dry, clean environment.
OSHA defines an action level of 85 dBA as an 8-hour TWA. Employers must take specific actions, such as implementing a hearing conservation program, when workers are exposed at or above this level.
A hearing conservation program includes noise monitoring, audiometric testing, employee training, provision of hearing protection, and regular evaluation of the program’s effectiveness.
Failure to use earplugs in noisy environments can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and other auditory health issues due to prolonged exposure to high noise levels.
The Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is a measure of the effectiveness of hearing protection devices in reducing noise exposure. It is calculated based on the attenuation provided by the device in decibels (dB).
Our hearing protection products offer NRRs ranging from 22 to 33 dB, depending on the model, effectively reducing harmful noise levels.
The Single Number Rating (SNR) is a standardized method used in Europe to represent the overall noise reduction provided by hearing protection devices across a range of frequencies.
Safetyware offers earplugs, earmuffs, and electronic hearing protectors designed to protect against noise in various industrial and commercial environments.
