Large plants, factories, and other industry-specific facilities require workers to operate in potentially loud environments that may contribute to the high percentage of hearing injuries so often associated with this set of occupational fields. The 21st century has given rise to technology that is incredibly powerful, boosting productivity and efficiency by more than can be measured. Unfortunately, however, this increase in quality technology and larger output has come with a cost. New machines are bigger, louder, and even more dangerous than they were before. Obviously, protecting the hearing of employees is a number one priority in these relatively dangerous work environments.
While providing a safe work environment is one thing, what about the occasional visitor? Obviously, it’s the business leaders’ responsibility to protect the hearing of those visitors as well, while still allowing for adequate communication. Standard noise-canceling headsets can filter out noise, but don’t allow for effective communication (and, what good is a plant tour without being able to highlight the interesting aspects of the business, technology, and employees along the way?). On the other hand, many communications headsets don’t allow for adequate hearing protection in high-noise environments, putting guests at risk.
Special technology allows for a flexible solution: headsets that both eliminate harmful sound and allow for clear communication. Quality headsets are valuable to business owners because they provide a means for seamless communication while keeping workers and guests safe and sound (no pun intended). Ultimately, quality headsets create a better tour experience for visitors. Who wouldn’t want that? The set of benefits resulting from using the appropriate communication equipment during plant tours and other important events is invaluable.
Experience plant tours like never before by utilizing hearing protection and communication technology that fosters company promotion, the simple transference of information, and high standards for guest well-being.
