Hearing Protection Products (See pages 28-29.)

These hearing protection products help prevent hearing loss against certain noises. To provide proper protection, the hearing protector should be (1)

suitable for the job, (2) fitted properly in/on the ear, (3) worn during all times of exposure to noise, and (4) replaced when damaged or otherwise

necessary. Failure to fit and use proper hearing protectors according to these instructions will reduce their effectiveness. Failure to wear hearing

protectors 100% of the time that you are exposed to hazardous noise may dramatically increase your risk of developing hearing loss. Keep ear plugs

away from infants and small children. They may get caught in a child’s windpipe. For more information, call 3M OH&ESD Technical Service at
