HEARING PROTECTION
A correct evaluation of the risks associated with hearing is mandatory to determine the appropriate PPE to use in each job. Based on this, CONAPRO offers a wide catalog of hearing protection.
In environments with high temperatures and large accumulation of dust, it is preferable to use plugs. However, for repeated exposure to short-term noise, it is advisable to use earmuffs or earplugs with harness since its placement and removal is much faster.
On the other hand, it is necessary to avoid overprotection. You should avoid choosing protectors that provide excessive noise attenuation, which could cause communication problems or be less comfortable. In this case, the time the user wears the protectors will be reduced.
Once these points are defined, Conapro offers the product that best adapts to the conditions of the workplace based on the materials, design and characteristics of the items.

EXPOSURE:
The daily exposure of a worker to noise is expressed in db (A), a measure calculated at 8 working hours per day.
In jobs where the daily level of 80 db (A) or 140 db is exceeded, it will be the employer who must provide hearing protectors to all exposed workers.
ATTENUATION:
The HML method specifies three decibel attenuation values, determined by the attenuation of the protector octave band. The representation of attenuation is represented by the letters H (high) M (medium) L (low).
The SNR method specifies the only attenuation value, Simplified Noise Level Reduction. This value indicates the average attenuation of all frequency bands.
The HML and SNR values are derived from the application of logarithmic formulas indicated in the ISO 4869 standard. They are not assumed by the Octave band measurement.
