Ear defenders must be suitable for the task and be able to be worn with all the other PPE that you wear.
This may be a particular problem if you wear glasses, or spectacle type eye protection, in this case
earplugs or goggles may be more suitable. Make sure ear defenders completely cover your ears, fit
tightly and that there are no gaps around the seals. Try and keep the seals and the insides clean. Don’t
stretch the headband too much – make sure it keeps its tension.

If noise levels are exceptionally high, it may be necessary to wear double protection (ear plugs and ear
defenders).

If you suspect that your hearing is damaged, see your doctor and notify your manager immediately – do
not wait until it is too late!

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for
us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
