Road Construction

More workers are exposed to potentially hazardous high noise levels in the road construction and maintenance industry than in all other construction-related fields. This exposure to high decibel noise over 85 dB(A) from graders, earth tampers, bulldozers, jackhammers, road traffic, and more is why you should consider smart communication and noise cancelation headset solutions.

Effectively communicating in these environments can be challenging with all the high-end ambient noise. Reducing high-noise levels to safer decibel dB(A) levels to protect workers from Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is only part of the mission at Sensear to keep workers safe on the job. In addition to our industry-leading noise-reduction headsets, we provide workers with 360° situational awareness of their environment.

Sensear’s range of Two-Way Radio and/ or Bluetooth^® Headsets and Earplugs are powered by groundbreaking SENS^® (high-noise communication) Technology, which elevates speech and suppresses dangerous background noise so workers can hear speech and stay protected in high-noise environments. The result is increased job site safety with enhanced communications and vital 360° situational awareness of on-coming traffic, construction equipment, and alerts.

Workers can have seamless conversations whether face-to-face, connected via short range, or on their two-way radio or Bluetooth-enabled devices, all while protecting their hearing using high-quality, noise-suppression headsets. Sensear headsets also provide protection and clear communication between operators inside vehicles, throughout the worksite, and even for remote operations managers located off-site.

For extremely loud environments that exceed 95dB(A), such as around jackhammers, concrete joint cutters, or pneumatic hammers, Sensear's Extreme Noise Headsets or Dual Protection headsets provide comprehensive protection with a noise reduction rating of 36 dB(A) NRR. By integrating earplugs into the earmuffs and employing SENS^® Technology for situational awareness, Sensear offers twice the hearing protection without compromising safety.

Sensear is the perfect solution to protect hearing for workers in construction and heavy equipment operator environments.

Several factors influence the noise level during road construction:

• The Equipment Being Used
• The Equipment’s Condition
• The Environment or Work Area – In a Tunnel, Under a Bridge or Overpass
• Multiple Types of Equipment Running Simultaneously
