The new Protector "Zone" range of ear defenders from Scott Health and Safety has been specifically designed to offer the ultimate in ease of selection, comfort and connectivity, guaranteeing 100% appropriate hearing protection.

Produced in highly distinctive safety colours (Yellow/Orange/Red) and sequentially numbered, Zone provides for easy and instant identification to ensure that the correct level of hearing protection is selected for a designated noise zone.

Selection made easy

The Zone range offers three distinct levels of "noise blocking" protection to select from, with each ear defender simply labelled 1, 2 or 3 for a clear indication of attenuation performance. Zone's high visual impact colour scheme not only contributes to improving the visibility of the worker in industrial environments, it also enables supervisory managers to instantly identify that workers are wearing adequate level of hearing protection for a designated noise zone.

Ease of selection is a key feature of Zone, which reduces the risk of under-protection, resulting in hearing damage, and over-protection that can result in workers feeling isolated, failing to hear vital warning signals or even having difficulty communicating. Workers with excessive levels of hearing protection often feel isolated and are more likely to remove ear defenders, exposing the inner ear to irreversible damage, which should be totally avoidable.

Passive, active listening (Alert Zone) and inbuilt AM/FM (Focus Zone) radio protection options, encourage appropriate selection for the application and exposure duration, helping to avoid the risk of dangerous short term removal.

Comfort Zone

The Protector "Zone" range is ideal for use over long durations, delivering a balance between comfort and safety. Lightweight designs with soft, supple cushion materials provide for an effective and essential seal between the face and the ear defender.

Available in helmet mounted, headband or neckband versions, Zone ear defenders are approved to acknowledged global protection standards (CE, ANSI & AUS/NZ). The Zone range offers total flexibility and can be integrated with head, face and eye PPE for comprehensive protection in many applications.

With regular maintenance, the cost-effective, high quality and durable range of Protector Zone ear defenders will provide consistent high calibre attenuation performance over the product lifetime. To support customers, Scott Health and Safety offers a universal maintenance kit that includes replaceable cushions and first stage acoustic foam liners. Self-adhesive antibacterial hygiene pads can be easily fitted to absorb excess moisture, extend ear cushion life and improve hygiene by preventing dirt and bacteria build-up.
