Protection Solutions

Made Innovatively Easy

The power to protect your world.

We live in a world where people don’t always make the right choice. Health and safety professionals have a challenging job convincing

people to wear protective equipment for their own safety. You must combine compliance to standards and regulations and employee

safety, comfort, and even style. Everyone wants to look good, but they don’t always want to wear protective equipment. We know this

and it is why we continue to listen, test and add innovations to improve our products so people wear them longer.

We provide solutions for work situations requiring basic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) through to environments that call for

the most sophisticated and comprehensive protection. Whether the customer is a single tradesperson, medium sized business or an

organisation employing thousands of workers, 3M has a workplace safety solution to meet your needs.

When job requirements call for special problem solving expertise, you can rely on 3M to use its diverse industry knowledge and

history of innovation to give you the conﬁdence and power to protect your world.

The 3M range of solutions for worker safety includes:

• Respiratory Protection

• Hearing Protection

• Communications

• Eye, Head & Face Protection

• Welding Protection

• Spill Management

3M Safety brands you can trust:

• Worker Visibility

• Detection & Monitoring

• Body Protection

Training and Support

3M’s team of Specialist Representatives are available nationally, to provide support and training that meet the needs of our customers.

Furthermore, our qualiﬁed and highly experienced team are able to assist customers by:

• Conducting initial and ongoing assessments of the workplace.

• Recommending appropriate respiratory, hearing, eye protection, communication and spill management solutions required to maintain a safe work environment

• Providing technical advice about the correct use and maintenance of the solution that has been selected

• Facilitate on-site ﬁt testing for both respiratory and hearing protection solutions, as required

No matter how effective a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is, it will offer little or no protection if it is not ﬁtted and/or worn correctly. Proper inspection, cleaning and storage is vital for safety equipment that protects a worker’s health and well-being.

That is why we offer training programs that explain the correct way to ﬁt, inspect, clean and store the PPE designed and manufactured by 3M.

The Real World Concerns of Hearing Protection

Variable Noise Levels: Every environment is different, and

workers can face a wide range of sound levels throughout the

day and in different areas at the same facility.

Employee Communication: Many employees need to be

able to communicate easily with co-workers and listen for

workplace warning sounds, while being protected from

hazardous noise levels.

What Types of Sounds

The Human Factor: Each person is physically unique, so

there is no one-size-ﬁts-all hearing protection solution. The key

to achieving optimal protection is having the best ﬁt possible.

Food Industry Worker

Susan works indoors at a food processing plant in a damp, refrigerated area. She leaves her hearing protectors in throughout her entire shift.

She needs metal detectable earplugs or easy-to-clean earmuffs. And they have to be comfortable.

“In my job, I don’t want

complicated hearing protection. Just keep it simple.”

Production Manager

John works indoors, and moves in and out of noisy areas continuously throughout the day. Most of the time he is on the phone or a two-way radio.

He needs a hearing protection sol

ution with wireless 2-way radio communications and ambient listening. In short, he needs to hear and communicate in noisy areas to do his job.

“ I need to be able to hear

my co-workers communicate with me.”

Iron Worker

Bill works in hot and humid environments, and often in tight spaces. He’s constantly moving and takes his earplugs out frequently.

He needs large-sized earplugs that

’t have to be rolled down before

don inserting. If he’s also wearing earmuffs, they need to ﬁt within his welding helmet.

“ I don’t like boring products.

Give me some interesting choices for my hearing protection.”

Machine Operator

Julia works at the same station every day and wears safety glasses throughout her entire shift.

She needs small-sized earplugs

muffs that are comfortable

or ear for extended wear.

“ My hearing protection

has got to be comfortable. That’s my top priority.”

Finding the Right Fit with the

™

E-A-Rﬁt™ Validation System

The E-A-Rﬁt Validation System measures the level of employee

hearing protection by generating a Personal Attenuation Rating

(PAR) in just 10 seconds per ear. The PAR indicates a workers'

noise reduction levels for a given ﬁtting and hearing protector.

The E-A-Rﬁt validation system assists employers in achieving

optimal ﬁt through hearing protection selection and

employee training.

The 3M™ E-A-Rﬁt™ Validation System Helps You:

Fit, Train and Motivate

• Serves as a tool for training proper ﬁtting techniques

and assessing ﬁtting proﬁciency.

• Great for reﬁtting or retraining after temporary threshold

shifts (TTSs) are detected.

• Motivates employees by helping them realise the control

they have in protecting their hearing.

Audit Your Team

• Establishes baseline values for new workers.

• Helps to identify workers receiving inadequate protection.

• Validates high protection levels required by workers in

high noise areas.

Assess and Manage

• Improves long-term performance of your hearing

conservation program.

The E-A-Rﬁt Validation System

An Integral Part of Your Hearing Protection Program

Integrating hearing protector ﬁt testing into your hearing

conservation program beneﬁts everyone from new hires

to high-risk workers.

• Indicates which employees need further ﬁt training

or alternative hearing protectors.

• After noise exposure data is input, the E-A-Rﬁt software can

help identify the most appropriate hearing protector(s) and

help minimize over/under protection.

reduction. Many factors, such as the relationship between

the size of the wearer and size of the hearing protector, and

how it has been inserted or ﬁtted, can impact how effective

that hearing protector will be. That’s why it is so important to

have the E-A-Rﬁt validation system as part of your hearing

conservation program and the support of a hearing protection

team with over 40 years of expertise.

Innovation from the Experts. At 3M, we understand

Protection Solutions

Made Innovatively Easy

Detecting and monitoring noise exposures in the workplace is the ﬁrst step to ensure your workforce is

protected. 3M’s accurate, reliable, and ﬂexible instrumentation coupled with powerful software is the

innovative solution for your noise detection challenge.

It is critical to select hearing protectors that your employees are motivated to wear. 3M has a broad selection of hearing protectors for a wide range of environments. Trouble ﬁtting your earplugs? Need to communicate in noise? Dirty hands? Hot, humid conditions? These are just a few of the many challenges that 3M’s innovative products can help solve for you.

3M™ E-A-Rﬁt™ Validation System utilises F-MIRE technology to measure and obtain an objective, quantitative

level of employee hearing protection in just 10 seconds per ear. Workers receive their own personal

attenuation rating (PAR) and learn how correctly ﬁtting their earplugs increases their level of protection.
