What is noise-induced hearing loss?
Loud noises can damage the hair cells in the inner ear and the hearing nerve. Hair cells are not replaceable and do not regrow. Damaged hair cells are unable to trigger electrical signals to the brain, impeding hearing.
The wider implications of hearing loss
There are wider consequences to hearing loss which are not always discussed due to the low profile hearing protection tends to receive. These can have a big impact on not only the individual and their quality of life but also their family.
How much noise is too much noise?
It is essential to protect our ears from harmful levels of noise, but how do we know what is a “harmful level”? The maximum periods of time a person should be exposed to harmful noise per day without hearing protection can be surprising.
Selecting the right hand protection for thermal hazards
Many industries involve processes where the employee is exposed to thermal risks, and it is not always possible to remove these hazards so employees will require safety gloves that offer adequate protection to help prevent injuries.
Safety gloves for cold working conditions
When working outside in the winter months or in cold conditions on site, having a pair of warm safety gloves is essential to getting on with the job in hand without experiencing discomfort from cold hands or fingers or reduced protection.
Selecting the right hand protection for chemical risks
Wearing the right safety gloves is essential when working with chemicals. Chemical protection safety gloves protect wearers from possible hazards that can cause permanent damage or even, in extreme cases, death.
