Industrial Insta-Mold Earplugs

instaindbig.jpgIndustrial accounts looking for an excellent cost effective solution in protecting their employees, look no further than custom-made Insta-Mold Earplugs.

Having a registered CE number for European distribution, Insta-Mold silicones continue to be recognized worldwide as the leader in proven "on-the-spot" protection.

This fact has been even more recognized now that hearing loss litigation and testing have been increasing.

 

Insta-Mold earplugs are made from a medical grade silicone and provide employees with the ultimate in comfort and satisfaction as they are custom shaped to the employee's own ear. Remaining flexible and soft throughout their lifetime, the Insta-Molds will provide several years of use. This eliminates the amount of discomfort employees face with the typical supplied foam earplugs when they try to expand back to their original shape, and/or the constant pressure of a set of earmuffs.

Insta-Mold's will also reduce the amount a company annually spends on hearing protection requirements. With a lifespan of 4-7 years depending on use, working environment and employee care, Insta-Mold's have benefits beyond just hearing protection. Below is a quick cost comparison chart reflecting the widely used "uncorded" foam disposable earplug ($0.20/pair - $0.35/pair) versus a set of "corded" Insta-Mold's. This example makes a conservative assumption that an employee will use only two pairs of "uncorded" foam plugs each day for a total year of 240 work days. ("Corded" foam earplugs are generally $0.15 to $0.20 more expensive per pair).

Factoring this equation over a four-year period, this cost comparison becomes immense, especially with a larger workforce. In addition, the money that is saved can be better allocated to research and design, machinery maintenance, computer upgrades, building improvements, and employee hiring and training. The immediate benefits will be recognized to both company and employee for many years to come.
