Sound guidance

25 February 2014

As part of its commitment to keeping people safe in the workplace, Arco has created an Expert Guide on communication solutions that has been designed to provide guidance on the selection of hearing protection that features integrated communication capabilities and to advise on the different types of solutions available.


Hearing protection with integrated communication capabilities enables workers in high noise environments to communicate with each other efficiently and safely. People who use the specialist equipment will be able to hear warning signals and quickly communicate with co-workers. Hearing protection with communication capabilities should also eliminate any tendency to remove hearing protection by removing any potential feelings of isolation. This equipment can also help to increase productivity as employees can communicate better with each other, thus increasing efficiency in the workplace.

 

Arco’s Expert Guide offers advice on employee protection, legislation conformance and product selection. The guide also offers several communications options, including products such as two-way radios, radio headsets, intrinsically safe and in-ear microphone plug solutions. All of Arco’s hearing protection conforms to all relevant European Standards and carries the CE mark, complying with the requirements of the Personal Protection Equipment Regulations 2002.

 

Arco Training and Consultancy, the specialist arm of Arco helping customers achieve full health, safety and environmental compliance can provide a wide range of services to help identify health hazards and appropriate control measures in the working environment, including noise risk assessments and personal dosimetry. For specialist knowledge and advice on hearing protection, Arco has a team of experts and a technical specialist who can provide customers with a bespoke on-site service. The technical specialist offers comprehensive advice which is independent of any brand and focuses on providing solutions that meet the needs of the customer.
