Ear Protection

Ear Protection PPE and Hearing Safety Equipment

Protecting your hearing in noisy workplaces is an essential part of maintaining long-term health and safety standards. At Express Cleaning Supplies, our ear protection range includes reliable and compliant products to suit a variety of environments, from industrial sites and construction areas to cleaning and maintenance operations. Whether you need disposable earplugs, reusable ear defenders, or adjustable ear muffs, our collection helps you meet workplace safety regulations while keeping staff comfortable and protected throughout their shift.

Quality Hearing Protection for Every Setting

Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common occupational health issues, particularly in industries where machinery, tools, or equipment produce sustained or high-decibel sound. Investing in high-quality ear protection is therefore essential to ensure compliance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations and to help reduce the risk of permanent hearing damage.

Our PPE ear protection range offers purpose-designed solutions for different noise levels and working conditions. From lightweight and compact ear plugs that provide discreet protection to robust ear defenders that deliver enhanced noise reduction, we make it simple to find the right balance of comfort, effectiveness, and value.

Types of Ear Protection

Ear Plugs

Ear plugs are ideal for situations where noise levels vary or for users who need flexibility and portability. They are available in both disposable and reusable styles. Foam ear plugs provide an economical solution, expanding gently in the ear canal for a snug, comfortable fit. Silicone or corded ear plugs are suitable for environments that require repeated use or where hygiene is critical. Many of our plugs are packaged individually to maintain cleanliness between uses.

Ear Defenders

Ear defenders, sometimes called ear muffs, are designed to fit over the ears and are commonly used in environments where consistent or high noise exposure is present. Their cushioned ear cups and adjustable headbands ensure comfort even during extended wear. We supply models with varying noise reduction ratings (NRR) to ensure you can select the correct level of protection for your workplace. Some ear defenders also feature foldable designs for easy storage or helmet-mounted fittings for construction and industrial use.

Specialist Hearing Protection

For specific tasks or industries, we offer specialist hearing protection such as electronic ear defenders that automatically suppress harmful noise levels while allowing speech and environmental awareness. These advanced models are well suited for maintenance teams, machine operators, or environments where communication remains important.

Comfort, Hygiene and Durability

Selecting ear protection is not only about blocking sound but also about ensuring employees can wear them comfortably over long periods. Many of our products are lightweight, ergonomically shaped, and made from soft, skin-friendly materials. Replaceable cushions and washable parts help maintain hygiene standards, while durable designs ensure longevity even under demanding conditions.

All items in our PPE ear protection range come from trusted manufacturers recognised for their commitment to safety and innovation. Each product is carefully selected to meet relevant British and European safety standards, offering dependable hearing defence for your workforce.

Meeting Health and Safety Compliance

Employers have a legal duty to protect workers from excessive noise exposure. Providing adequate hearing protection and training employees in its correct use plays a vital role in maintaining compliance with UK workplace safety legislation. Our ear protection PPE category makes it easy to source certified products that conform to EN 352 standards. By supplying approved hearing protection to your staff, you can demonstrate your commitment to creating a safe, compliant, and responsible workplace.

How to Choose the Right Ear Protection

2. Type of Work and Duration – Short or intermittent tasks may benefit from ear plugs, while continuous exposure may require the comfort and sealing of ear defenders.
3. Compatibility with Other PPE – If wearing a safety helmet, goggles, or face shield, ensure the ear protection fits comfortably without compromising effectiveness.
4. Hygiene Requirements – Disposable plugs are ideal when cleanliness is critical, while washable reusable types reduce waste and long-term cost.
