Frequently Asked Questions — Ear Protection & Hearing PPE

Hearing protection is mandatory under the OHS Act 85 of 1993 and MHSA 29 of 1996 when workers are exposed to noise at or above 85dB(A) as an 8-hour time-weighted average. Employers must conduct a noise assessment, establish a hearing conservation programme, and provide appropriate SNR-rated hearing protection for all affected workers.

SNR (Single Number Rating) indicates how many decibels a hearing protector reduces noise. To choose correctly, measure the noise level at your worksite and select a protector that brings effective exposure below 85dB(A). Our Uvex K2 earmuff is rated SNR 32dB and the K2H clip-on is rated SNR 30dB — contact us with your site noise levels and we can help you select the right product.

Earplugs insert into the ear canal — compact and suited to extended wear in consistently loud environments. Earmuffs fit over the entire ear and deliver higher, more consistent attenuation, preferred where workers move between loud and quieter areas. Helmet clip-on earmuffs, like the Uvex K2H, attach directly to a safety helmet — eliminating the need to carry separate hearing protection on mine sites.

A helmet clip-on earmuff attaches to a compatible safety helmet rather than fitting over the head independently. The Uvex K2H (SNR 30dB) is compatible with Uvex pheos and similar helmets, widely used on South African mine sites. Clip-on earmuffs are practical where workers wear helmets throughout the shift and need to move hearing protection out of the way during lower-noise periods.
