Generally, when on the plant tour route, if you need to raise your voice to hold a conversation with the person next to you then a standard tour guide headphone will allow everyone to hear with the plant tourguide speaking normally. However, if you need to shout to the person stood next to you, then a hearing protection headphone or headset is likely to be required. We have a range of ear-defender headphones and headsets that have been carefully selected for practical use, comfort and performance. These are available with our short-term hire systems as well as for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n Browse our range of Ear-defender Headsets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: All hearing protection affords limited protection. The user is responsible for the proper selection, use, care and maintenance of headphones or ear-defenders for plant tours. Improper selection (including under\/over protection), use or maintenance may lead to serious hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VISIT THE <\/strong>HEALTH & SAFETY EXECUTIVE WEBSITE<\/a> FOR STATUTORY REGULATIONS<\/strong>, NOISE AT WORK<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Noisy environments and hearing protection for plant tours The first consideration is whether hearing protection is mandatory \u2013 while this may be the case for employees like machine operators, it may not be mandatory for visitors during a short tour… Continue Reading →<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[102,58,104,103,98,76],"class_list":["post-782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tourguide-systems","tag-eardefender","tag-factory","tag-hearing-protection","tag-peltor","tag-plant-tour","tag-tourguidesys"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=782"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1330,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782\/revisions\/1330"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Peltor_MT13H221P3E1-1024x683.png\")
