QED Disposable Foam Ear Plugs QED301 โ€“ 200 Pairs

QED Disposable Foam Ear Plugs QED301 are soft, comfortable, singleโ€‘use ear plugs designed to provide
reliable hearing protection in noisy environments. Supplied in a bulk pack of 200 pairs, these
highโ€‘performance foam ear plugs are ideal for construction sites, factories, workshops, events and
any workplace where safe noise reduction and convenient distribution are essential.

QED Disposable Foam Ear Plugs QED301 are designed to make hearing protection simple, comfortable and
reliable. Manufactured from soft, slowโ€‘recovery polyurethane foam, each plug gently expands inside
the ear canal to create an effective acoustic seal, helping to reduce exposure to harmful noise
levels on site or in the workplace.

The tapered shape and smooth outer surface make these foam ear plugs easy to roll down, insert and
position correctly. Once fitted, they provide a secure, lowโ€‘pressure fit that most users find
comfortable for extended periods, helping to encourage consistent PPE use throughout the shift.

Supplied as a bulk box containing 200 pairs, QED301 ear plugs are ideal for distribution from a
central PPE point, wallโ€‘mounted dispenser or supervisorโ€™s kit. The highโ€‘visibility colour makes it
simple for managers and safety officers to confirm that workers are wearing the correct hearing
protection in designated areas.

Typically tested to relevant hearing protection standards (such as EN 352โ€‘2 for ear plugs โ€“ confirm
on packaging or data sheet), QED Disposable Foam Ear Plugs QED301 deliver dependable noise reduction
performance when correctly fitted, making them suitable for a wide variety of industrial and
commercial environments.

Typical Use Cases

  • Construction sites and civil engineering works with high levels of machinery and plant noise.
  • Manufacturing, engineering and fabrication workshops with presses, grinders, saws and CNC machines.
  • Warehousing, logistics and distribution centres with continuous background noise.
  • Events, venues and stadiums โ€“ backstage, technical and rigging staff exposed to high sound levels.
  • Maintenance, M&E and facilities teams working near noisy plant rooms and equipment.

Fitting & Usage Tips

  • Roll, donโ€™t crush: With clean hands, roll the ear plug between finger and thumb into a tight, creaseโ€‘free cylinder.
  • Straighten the ear canal: Reach over your head with the opposite hand and gently pull the top of the ear upwards and outwards.
  • Insert correctly: Insert the rolledโ€‘down plug well into the ear canal, then hold in place for a few seconds while it expands.
  • Check the fit: When properly fitted, the plug should feel snug and most of it should be within the ear canal, not protruding.
  • Use two plugs: Always wear plugs in both ears for balanced and effective protection.
  • Single use only: Dispose of ear plugs after one shift or if they become dirty, damaged or deformed.

QED Disposable Foam Ear Plugs QED301 200 Pairs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What level of noise reduction do QED301 Disposable Foam Ear Plugs provide?

The exact SNR (Single Number Rating) and attenuation figures are printed on the QED301 packaging and
data sheet. Foam ear plugs of this type typically offer high noise reduction suitable for many industrial
environments. Always check the stated SNR and ensure it meets the requirements of your risk assessment.

2. Are QED301 ear plugs reusable?

No. QED Disposable Foam Ear Plugs QED301 are designed as singleโ€‘use products. They should be disposed of
after one shift, or sooner if they become dirty, damaged or deformed. Reusing foam ear plugs can lead to
reduced protection and hygiene issues.

3. How do I know if the ear plugs are fitted correctly?

Correctly fitted plugs will feel snug without pain or pressure points. Most of the plug should be inside
the ear canal, with only a small section visible from the outside. A simple check is to gently cup your
hands over your ears โ€“ if the noise level does not change much, the plugs are likely correctly fitted.
If it reduces noticeably, reโ€‘fit the plugs.

4. Are QED301 foam ear plugs suitable for all ear sizes?

The tapered, compressible foam design will fit most adult ear canals. For users with particularly small
or large ear canals, fit may vary. In these cases, consider trial fitting and, if necessary, alternative
models or sizes specifically designed for smaller or larger ears.

5. Can I use QED Disposable Foam Ear Plugs QED301 for occasional DIY or concerts?

Yes. While designed for industrial and workplace use, these foam ear plugs can also be used for DIY,
hobbies, concerts and other noisy activities, provided the SNR/attenuation is suitable for the noise
level. Always follow fitting instructions and local safety guidance.
