SAFE ’N’ SOUND – Everything you were never told about hearing protection

OCCUPATIONAL HEALT AND SAFETY TRAINING FIELD

THURSDAY 17 SEPTEMBER 2026

SAFETY INTERACTION POINT – SWS

PAV. B – LANE B4

Edited by: SWS with BLOK

In this session, the Blok team will debunk common myths about hearing protection and provide practical tools for correctly selecting and evaluating hearing PPE. Topics range from occupational hearing loss and tinnitus to the criteria that truly make a difference: attenuation, comfort, compatibility with other PPE, proper usage, and training.
We will also explore how to move from "stated" protection to "actual" protection by looking at attenuation calculations, the ß-factor, and the Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR).
A practical session packed with real-world examples, designed for RSPPs, HSE Managers, and safety professionals who want to verify whether the hearing protection used in their company is truly effective.

The Safety Interaction Point is an experiential stand dedicated to RSPPs and HSE professionals.
It features a small testing area where safety professionals can interact directly with personal protective equipment.
This initiative, organized in collaboration with PPE manufacturers, serves as a dynamic hub for experiencing safety firsthand.

The event is free to attend while places last.
To access, online registration for Safety Expo 2026 is mandatory
