Ear Protection Signs

Hearing loss is a very real repercussion of working around loud sounds for long periods of time, which is often irreversible. Employers have a duty of care to educate, inform, and protect their staff against hearing loss. Let us help protect your hearing, and that of those around you, with our hearing protection signs.

Ear protection safety signs are a visual reminder of the need to use hearing personal protective equipment (PPE) in the workplace. These are necessary to protect against a range of potential hazards, including:

  • Excessive noise
  • Intrusion of water
  • Excessive wind
  • Dust particles
  • Foreign bodies

Don’t forget the rest of the body! We also supply body protection signs, respiratory protection signs, head protection signs, foot protection signs, eye protection signs, and hand protection signs.

Where Are Hearing Protection Signs Used?

Construction ear protection signs are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, mining, and aviation. 

However, ear defender signs also come in handy for recreational pursuits such as water sports, motorsports, and at music concerts.

This is especially so for young or damaged ears which may be more susceptible to loud or harsh sounds.
