3M-E-A-Rfit3M is committed to reducing workplace exposure to hazardous noise with its E-A-Rfit Validation System, a quantitative hearing protector fit test. The system features a new software upgrade, an expanded portfolio of probed earplugs for testing and easy-to-use training materials.

The E-A-Rfit Validation System assists in achieving optimal fit through hearing protector selection and employee training. In fewer than 8 seconds per ear, the system generates a personal attenuation rating that indicates a worker’s noise reduction for a given fitting and hearing protector.

Unlike other systems that rely on subjective responses to test signals, the 3M in-the-ear testing procedure leverages proprietary algorithms to analyze sound levels in the ear when the earplugs are worn. This helps reduce test variability related to background noise in the test room and any existing hearing loss of the workers being tested.

A performance outcome screen then displays the personal attenuation rating along with a pass/fail indication for the worker’s noise exposure level. The system helps ensure proper use of the devices and identifies the earplug models offering the best protection.

honeywell-hard-hatHoneywell Safety Products (HSP) has introduced the Fibre-Metal Roughneck P2A Hard Hat for extreme work environments. Ideally suited for workers on construction sites and heavy industry job sites, the Roughneck P2A is stronger and more durable than common high-density polyethylene cap shells. Constructed of a proprietary injection-molded fiberglass compound, the P2A cap offers exceptional impact and crack resistance. Furthermore, it handles hard knocks in the toughest places without developing nicks and cracks commonly seen in other fiberglass caps for long-lasting, professional-looking wear.

The Roughneck P2A delivers best-in-class heat resistance, meeting ANSI Z89.1-2009 impact resistance tests at temperatures up to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Its technically advanced SuperEight® suspension, with eight load-bearing points, spreads weight over a wide area for the ultimate in balance, stability and impact protection. The cap’s reduced weight and adjustable, custom-fit features deliver added comfort for all-day wear. Its exclusive smooth crown design eliminates the risk of trapping a falling object, which can adversely affect a cap’s impact reduction capability.

The Roughneck P2A is available with a choice of three high-performance headgear options: the Fibre-Metal nonslip/nonstrip ratchet, SwingStrap™ or TabLok™. It also comes ready to use with the industry’s most versatile Quick-Lok® or Speedy® Loop helmet attachment system for face shields and welding helmets. Each of the cap’s nine shades of solid-color resin provides a permanent, no-chip, no-peel finish.
