1 min read
More than two million people are exposed to noise levels at work that may be harmful. Working in noisy environments also makes communicating with others difficult, often resulting in the need for the person to remove their hearing protection device to hold a conversation. In response, Arco has created a publication – the Communications Solutions Expert Guide.
It is designed to offer guidance on the selection of hearing protection which features integrated communication capabilities, including advice on the different types of communication solutions available.
Arco said: "Hearing protection with integrated communication capabilities enable workers in high noise environments to communicate with each other efficiently and safely. People who use the specialist equipment will be able to hear warning signals and quickly communicate with their co-workers.
"Hearing protection with communication capabilities should also eliminate any tendency to remove hearing protection in situations where it is required removing any potential feelings of isolation. This equipment can also help to increase productivity as employees can communicate better with each other thus increasing efficiency in the workplace."
Arco's guide offers guidance on employee protection, legislation conformance and product selection. The guide also offers several communications options, including products such as two-way radios, radio headsets, intrinsically safe and in-ear microphone plug solutions.
