PPE safety accessories can protect your hearing and respiratory system on the job. If you work in environments where noise levels are high or you’re at risk of inhaling dangerous substances or dis-ease, then custom hearing equipment and custom respiration equipment are essential for protecting your health.

Where noise levels reach in excess of 85 decibels, employees will require the use of personalised hearing equipment such as ear plugs or defenders to protect their hearing from long-term damage. This is a requirement of the Control of Noise Regulations of 2005. Employers must regularly assess noise levels to determine if team members are at risk. The onus is also on the employer to provide the necessary standards of custom hearing equipment to safeguard employees from the risks of working with noise.

Personalised hearing equipment including ear plugs and ear defenders create an effective seal to ensure that noise doesn’t leak inside the ear. Taking this step eliminates as much as 10 decibels of noise, which allows employees to carry on with their tasks, without risk to their long-term hearing.

Some teams work with equipment or materials which may pose a threat to their respiratory systems. If your working environment includes dust, debris or hazardous chemicals, then you should wear cus-tom respiration equipment as instructed by your employer. This will prevent airborne particles from being inhaled and reaching your lungs.
