AURITECH REACTS TO INCREASING WORKPLACE
DEMAND Auritech, the provider of hearing protectors in the workplace, has seen a significant increase in the number of employers and employees from industries where noise regularly exceeds 85dB ordering both Universal Fit and Custom Fit products.
The company’s designs ensure optimum attenuation, which helps to prevent damaging sound waves from passing around the outside of the products’ sound filters. Precision filtration does not muffle or block ears, so users will not experience an ‘occlusion’ effect common with other hearing protectors.
The patented ceramic filter exclusive to Auritech is frequency-selective, so it allows the wearer to hear normal conversation and relevant background sounds. People can carry on as normal, hardly noticing they are wearing hearing protectors at all.
Guaranteed for 2 years, Auritech Custom Fit protectors are designed for those who need to use hearing protection regularly and who want a perfect fit with optimum sound clarity. To meet the increase in demand for custom fit, Auritech has recently employed a dedicated specialist to work solely in the industry sector.
John Worthington will be visiting businesses over the coming months to fit hearing protectors as demand rapidly increases to ensure companies are fulfilling their health and safety requirements.

With the construction industry focusing on improving its record on health and safety, 3Squared recognised how an established piece of PPE could be adapted with the latest technology to assist workers by notifying them of potential hazards. The SmartVest expands on the current safety benefits of the high visibility vest by incorporating low energy LEDs that respond to imminent dangers.
For railway workers in particular, the SmartVest will integrate established live data feeds to provide automated visual alerts for workers to inform them of trains approaching a working area. Different coloured lighting is used to create visual alerts for individual workers and groups of workers helping them to identify a possible hazard quickly and effectively.
To further extend the SmartVest’s functionality, 3Squared utilises its ‘SmartSafe’ virtual zone management platform. The SmartSafe web-based software allows engineers to upload site plans and draw out virtual safe, exclusion and hazardous working zones.
Once out on site, the software utilises the latest iBeacon technology to establish and monitor these virtual zones. iBeacons have revolutionised the field of micro positioning enabling devices to accurately obtain exact locations within built or open environments.
