    Disposable earplugs

    Earplugs are basically inserted into the auditory canal and are especially well-suited to moist and warm environments. They also have good attenuation levels due to filtration of the noise levels, even at low frequencies.

    Disposable earplugs

    This is how to insert disposable earplugs correctly:
    1. Roll the plug up as small as possible, ensuring it is crease-free. Make sure your hands are clean.

    2. Reach over your head with your free hand and pull the ear upwards and backwards. Insert the plug deeply into the auditory canal.

    3.& 4. Hold the plug firmly for approx. 30–40 seconds until it has fully expanded within the auditory canal. The earplug is correctly fitted in the ear if nothing is visible when viewed from the front.

    This is the correct way to remove and dispose of earplugs:
    When removing the earplug, pull it slowly out of the auditory canal with a slight twisting action. After use, disposable earplugs should be disposed of in the correct manner.

    Reusable earplugs

    Reusable earplugs can be reused without losing their original shape thanks to the washable surface. When you leave a noisy area, the earplugs can be put away in a handy storage box

    // Hearing protection

    Disposable earplugs

    This is how to wear earplugs correctly:

    1. Use one hand to grip the earplug by the stem. With the other hand pull the ear upwards and backwards whilst inserting the earplug into the auditory canal. Moving the ear up and down during insertion increases the protective effect.

    2. Even when correctly fitted, the plug remains visible from the outside.

    Banded earplugs

    Banded earplugs are easy to use, comfortable to wear and can be put on and taken off quickly. The earplug does not sit in the auditory canal, instead it closes off the outer opening of the canal, which makes it pleasant to wear. It is suitable for working environments with high temperatures, since no heat build-up occurs. The earplugs can be replaced and the band can be reused

    Banded earplugs

    This is how to wear banded earplugs correctly: 1. Grip the band under the chin with both hands. 2. Pulling the ear upwards and downwards whilst inserting the earplug increases the attenuation performance. 3. To check the fit, in a noisy environment press both earplugs slightly inwards. This should not make any great difference to the noise. Please note: 4. Pull the dirty earplug off the band. 5. Insert the new earplugs on to the band with a slight twist.

    Electronic ear protection

    Hearing protection with special functions enables communication and simultaneous protection in the event of high noise levels. The noise-level-dependent attenuation technology means that warnings and instructions can audibly be received. Harmful noise is damped to a level less than 82 dB in order to protect hearing Additional functions: • Volume control of level-dependent function • Balance control • Equalizer ear defenders

    Particle masks

    Particulate respirators provide protection against particles. They are available as disposable masks in the following versions:

    1. Foldable: Practical for carrying around due to the flat, foldable mask body
    2. Pre-formed: Easy to use due to pre-formed mask body

    These protective masks are used during the grinding or sanding of brickwork, iron or paint as well as during the processing of glass and mineral fibres or asbestos, for example.

    Respiratory protection

    Full masks

    In order to protect yourself against gases and vapours, you need special gas masks. These re-usable masks are used in the event of frequent use and for wearing for long periods of time. These are also available as full-face masks, which also have a face cover.

    If the half-face and full-face masks are additionally required to provide protection against particles, then combination filters are the right choice. Here, particle and gas filters are integrated into a filter housing whereby the particle filter is always spatially arranged in front of the gas filter.

    Important ingredients in skin protection products

    Similar to many skin care products, specific active ingredients support skin moisturising, reduce itchiness and promote healing:

    • Allantoin is a natural substance which promotes the healing of wounds and has cell-rejuvenating effects. It is used for alleviating skin irritations
    • Glycerine prevents the loss of moisture in the skin.
    • Witch hazel is a plant extract from the Hamamelidaceae family. It relieves slight itching and promotes the healing of wounds.
    • Panthenol is a provitamin. It strengthens the skin’s barrier function, increases the keratin layer’s ability to retain water, and improves the skin’s elasticity. Additionally, it reduces inflammation and itching.
    • Emulsifiers are another important ingredient within skin protection. They help to combine liquids that do not mix, such as water and oil, into an emulsion

    Attachment devices

    Attachment devices come in two basic designs: with a fixed and a moveable guide. On the fixed guide, the attachment device that moves with the user automatically locks and catches the user with the safety harness if they fall. The fixed guide restricts lateral movement. The attachment device with a moveable guide moves up and down the guide as the wearer moves. If the wearer falls, it locks automatically.

    WELDER’S GOGGLES

    A dazzlingly bright light with strong UV radiation is produced during electrical welding work. Without adequate protection, there is a risk of burns to the conjunctiva and irreversible injury. Furthermore, depending on the welding technique, harmful substances can be released which can also get inside the eyes.

    For this reason, welder’s goggles must meet strict requirements for eye protection. They must repel glare while ensuring excellent vision, protecting against UV light, offering scratch resistance and employing a suitable material to prevent burn-in of welding sparks.
