Earplug dispensers for the factory wall

Hearing protection gets worn when it is within reach. The dispenser hangs where the noise area begins and hands out disposable earplugs in pairs. It is refilled with refill bags of 500 pairs. How noise areas must be marked is explained in Legal requirements.

At the entrance to the noise area

One turn, one pair. Mounted next to the mandatory sign “Wear ear protection”, the dispenser reminds people of hearing protection at exactly the right place.

Planning demand: how many earplugs your company needs

Disposable foam earplugs are thrown away after each use. You can estimate the annual demand with one calculation:

Pairs per year = workers in the noise area × shifts per year × pairs per shift

Example with 220 shifts per year. Refill bags of 500 pairs, rounded up.
Workers in the noise area1 pair per shiftRefill bags2 pairs per shiftRefill bags

5011,000 pairs2222,000 pairs44
10022,000 pairs4444,000 pairs88

Allow two pairs per shift if workers take the earplugs out during breaks. Add visitors, contractors and a reserve. One EPR1227GY refill bag fills the EP500SGY wall dispenser once; one pack contains 10 bags, i.e. 5,000 pairs.
