What To Wear - Earmuffs or Earplugs Monday, 28 July 2025
Excessive occupational noise is a common risk in workplaces with noisy tools and machinery, and around truck and forklift traffic. Exposure to loud noises, such as jackhammers, jet engines, firearms and many others, can put workers at risk. Damage to our hearing is irreparable, resulting in slight or complete hearing loss. Still, it is preventable if the appropriate hearing protection is used. Choosing the proper hearing protection, whether disposable, reusable, detachable or customised, is critical because when fitted and used correctly, efficacy is maximised and dangerous noise levels are reduced.
