BROCHURE DETAILS NRR LABELING CHANGES FOR HEARING PROTECTORS

Howard Leight has issued a brochure that explains known details of the proposed changes for hearing protectors. Titled, "Inside the EPA's Proposed Change to the Noise Reduction Rating," the brochure is designed as a handy information resource for safety managers, providing background on the new rating system and the ANSI testing protocols on which it is based. A chart provides a clear comparison of key elements of the current and proposed NRR regulations, and a sample product label shows how the new NRR scheme will be applied.

An extensive Q&A provides additional background on the details of the anticipated regulation and its impact on occupational Hearing Conservation programs. "As we all know, the current NRR lacks real-world perspective that comes with the individual use of earplugs and earmuffs," said Renee S. Bessette, Marketing Manager for Howard Leight. "This anticipated change to the NRR is expected to help to personalize Hearing Conservation programs for workers and improve its overall efficacy."
