The EN 166 standard specifies requirement for personal eye-protectors, used to combat various hazards as encountered across numerous industries which are likely to damage the eye or impair vision. The EN 170 standard specifies requirements for ultraviolet filters, while EN 172 refers to the sun glare filtration for industrial use. All MILWAUKEE ® safety glasses are certified according to EN 166, to guarantee the eye protection and the resistance to impact. The clear safety glasses are EN 170 certified, to offer an UV protection, even with clear lenses, while the tinted and polarised safety glasses are EN 172 certified to offer a solar protection, ideal for the jobsite and also during leisure time.

The REDLITHIUM USB™ Jobsite Earbuds feature advanced technology that not only meets the EN 352-2 standards but also provides additional functionalities for the modern jobsite. Jobsite Awareness Mode ensures that users can safely hear necessary environmental sounds while being protected from harmful noise levels. When fully charged, the earbuds provide up to 10 hours of continuous use, with an additional 70 hour’s run time from the case. The earbuds are designed to limit entertainment audio signals to a safe level of 82 dB(A), particularly for Bluetooth A2DP, HFP, and HSP inputs, thereby preventing overexposure to high volume levels that can damage hearing. To maintain their effectiveness, the foam inserts should be regularly inspected for any signs of wear and tear, such as deterioration or cracking, and cleaned with a damp cloth. It is recommended to replace the inserts periodically to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.

HEARING PROTECTION
EN 352-2:2020 HEARING PROTECTORS: EAR MUFFS
Hearing protection is crucial on the jobsite to prevent hearing damage from excessive noise exposure. It maintains worker safety, concentration, and productivity. Prioritizing hearing protection safeguards workers’ long-term hearing health from permanent damage that may occur and creates a safer work environment.
EN 352-3 is a standard for earmuffs designed to be mounted on protective helmets or head/face protection devices. The standard ensures compatibility, effectiveness, and safety by specifying materials, secure fit, noise reduction, compliance markings, and user instructions. Adhering to EN 352-3 guarantees reliable hearing and head/face protection in hazardous environments.
The EN 352 standard that all MILWAUKEE ® hearing protection products meet, provides workers with the protection they need to Stay Safe and Stay Productive on the jobsite.
All MILWAUKEE ® ear muffs that are attached to protective hard hats/helmets fully meet the EN 352-3 standards.
EN 352-2:2020 HEARING PROTECTORS: EARPLUGS
The EN 352-2 standard regulates earplugs that are inserted directly into the ear canal. The standard ensures the earplugs are made with appropriate materials, designed for comfort and effectiveness, meet performance benchmarks, carry necessary markings, and provide clear instructions for users. Adhering to this standard promotes the safety and reliability of earplugs for protecting hearing in noisy environments. When noise exceeds 85 dB on the jobsite, it is mandatory for employers to provide hearing protection that meets these requirements. All MILWAUKEE ® earplugs that are inserted into the ear canal fully meet the EN 352-2 standards and protect workers from long term damage.
