Too often ignored, ear and hearing protection to EN352 is an absolute must in any work environment where there is noise. EN352-2 ear plugs can give basic protection for lower noise levels or brief exposure but EN352-1 ear defenders may be more suitable for longer exposure or for noiser environments. Hearing damage is a permanant disability and can even force someone to stop working, affecting them long afterwards. Don't risk compensation claims - issue proper ear protection and protect your staff and your business properly.
