Acoustic shock protection - listen up!

Only comprehensive protection provides comprehensive occupational safety. Protect your hearing and preserve your nerves and your health!

Comprehensive protection is quite a complex matter; a full set of protective equipment includes a wide variety of products, whereby there are many details that have to be taken into consideration. Only a complete set of protective gear can provide comprehensive protection; or would you only put on your left shoe because you do not have the time to look after your right foot?
The average noise level in a normal factory building ranges between 84-90 decibels; a conventional circular saw has a noise level of 100 decibels. Daily work in such an environment without acoustic shock protection places the same strain on your ears as if you would stand behind a starting jet engine for five minutes, and that every day!
Acoustic shock protection is prescribed by law as of 90 decibels. However, noise levels are often complicated to determine and everyone reacts differently. We recommend that you wear acoustic shock protection as soon as you feel disturbed by the noise or have the feeling that you are no longer able to concentrate. It is important that you feel comfortable at your place of work; after all, constant noise pollution can damage your health. The consequences range from learning, sleeping and concentration difficulties, higher blood pressure, headaches and cardiovascular complaints to occupational disabilities. Therefore, you should take the necessary precautions and protect your ears and your health.
There are many different forms of acoustic shock protection; the two most common forms are earmuffs and earplugs. Both product types achieve similar results in terms of sound absorption. The type of acoustic shock protection that you opt for depends on your personal preference and working conditions; however, the earmuffs are more comfortable when they must be worn for longer periods. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further advice on choosing the right form of acoustic shock protection.
