Detectable hearing protection for comfort and safety

Protecting your reputation and your customers

For food processors, the top priority is ensuring consumer safety. The last thing you want is for a stray earplug to contaminate your product, putting a customer at risk and potentially damaging your brand reputation.

With loud machinery running 24/7, wearing hearing protection when working in the food industry is paramount to safeguarding your hearing. uvex have a range of detectable hearing protection that is not only visually striking to stand out amongst products, but also feature integrated metal parts to allow the earplugs to show up in X-ray scans.

Metal detectable earplugs: the safe choice

Metal detectable earplugs are the ideal solution for hearing protection in food processing environments. Most facilities utilise metal detection equipment to scan outgoing products for any metal contaminants. These machines are highly sensitive and can easily detect a metal-infused earplug that's accidentally ended up in the food stream.

By choosing metal detectable earplugs, you're implementing a simple yet effective safeguard to prevent foreign objects from entering your food production line, protecting both your customers and your brand.
