Protect Your Employees to Protect Your Business
New personal protection equipment (PPE) from Crescendo, the PPE 20 and PPE 25, in-ear protection plugs can dramatically reduce employee health problems caused by working in very noisy environments. Twenty percent of the UK population will be affected by hearing problems by 2031, which heralds a multi-billion pound loss to the economy in economic output* and for businesses increased compensation claims. The PPE 20 and PPE 225, reusable and washable, triple flange earplugs, have been developed by Crescendo for industrial, construction and other noisy environments. The design offers the highest level of sound protection normally associated with expensive custom-made in-ear hearing protection. The sound filter technology used ensures a natural sound balance to the wearer, through uniform attenuation. This results in a reduction of sound levels equally across all frequencies, ensuring clear speech and sound recognition is maintained, an essential safety requirement in noisy work places. Designed to be reusable, manufactured in environmentally friendly – 100% organic thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), the earplugs are safe and comfortable for continuous shift working. The replaceable filter design, with its air channel, allows air to circulate in the ear eliminating ‘hot ear’, which can cause irritation and infection. These products are the ideal long term replacement for the millions of disposable one-use foam earplugs sent to landfill each year. The PPE range provides the ultimate universal fit hearing protection product. • The Crescendo PPE 20 reduces sound levels by 20dB (decibel), providing 8 hours continuous use in any environment up to 105dB – approximately the sound of a jet engine at 1000ft. • The PPE 25 reduces sound levels by 25dB, making it safe for up to 8 hours continuous use in environments up to 110dB – approximately the sound of a live rock band. Ready to wear out of the box, with no forming required, Crescendo PPE 20 and PPE 25 are available in two sizes (medium and large). The design helps position the plug correctly within the ear and provides stability and increased retention during extended periods of wear and physical exertion. x No interference with headgear, eyewear or headsets. Compatible with earmuff as dual layer protection in extreme noise environments. x Water resistant carry case x Maintains hygiene and protection when stored. x Passive Operation x No batteries required. x Reusable x Easy to clean, reducing the potential for ear infections.
