Ear plugs critical in steel industry

William Hare, a global player in the steel industry with a UK head office in Bury, have been using ProtectHear custom made ear plugs since 2008.

Jean Collison, who works in health and safety for the company said: “Employees at all levels use the product, both in the facilities and on-site. The product protects from factory noise but enables workers to still hear warning bells, which is critical. Although background noise is reduced, speech can still be heard, which is extremely useful."

She added: "Employees really like them as they are comfortable and perform well. Our staff appreciate the product as it is more personal and better quality compared to disposables."

ProtectHear is designed to offer the highest degree of comfort throughout the long life-span of five years, whilst providing an effective acoustic barrier helping to prevent Noise Induced Hearing loss (NIHL).
