How to select the hearing protector & Protect your hearing against noise
If you work in an environment where you are exposed to a lot of bothersome noises, you must inform your employer to assess the situation and provide you with the suitable ear protector to protect you from damaging your ear and hearing.
Only those ear protectors approved by the Commissioner for Labour under Section 7 can be used. Employers must provide these approved ear protectors to its employees if and when the situation requires.
Below are some key points for you to take note on when choosing the correct ear protector:
- The level and nature of the noise exposure or the amt. by which the exposure exceeds the second or peak action levels
- The job and working environment, this can affect comfort and hygiene
- Compatibility with any other protective equipment or special clothing worn, such as goggles or protective suits
- The fit to the wearer
- Any difficulty or discomfort experienced by the wearer
If the ear protector you’re wearing don’t have the above issues and you feel fine when exposed to high levels of noises while wearing the ear protector, then you’ve found the perfect ear protector for you!
