Useful tips to improve hearing protection

SMITHFIELD, RI-Sperian Hearing Protection launched a special micro-site for its new VeriPRO earplug field-verification software. VeriPRO allows safety managers to get an accurate "real-world" picture of employees’ hearing protection, says the company. Utilizing sophisticated software with a user-friendly interface, VeriPRO determines the Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR) of the earplugs each worker uses regularly on the job, and can help managers determine whether employees require additional fit training or different style earplugs.
