Eave鈥檚 Active Ear Defenders with 鈥榟ear through鈥� technology reduce loud background noise but still let the wearer hear the person with whom they are talking.
The smart headsets also monitor and map noise exposure, allowing employers to analyse each worker鈥檚 noise exposure across a site.
Galliford Try Highways has made the Eave headsets a standard part of its personal protective equipment from next month.
Health and safety manager Mark Bridges said: 鈥淎 lot of the team on site really appreciate putting their hearing protection on and still being able to hear their environment. When you ally this with the ability to constantly monitor their exposure, the benefits of Eave鈥檚 approach are really apparent.鈥�
Eave CEO David Greenberg said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e been working with Galliford Try鈥檚 highways suppliers to ensure they are ready for 1st July, with the correct protection in place for workers.聽 It鈥檚 been inspiring to work with Mark as we share a similar passion to go beyond the bare minimum to protect the hearing of workers in hazardous noise.
鈥淚n today鈥檚 digital world when the technology available can do so much more to properly protect workers, we need to take action.鈥�
