The types of personal protective equipment ( PPE )
types of personal protective equipment consisting of : head protection equipment , eye protection , ear protection equipment , respiratory protective equipment , protective gear hand , foot protectors , and others . Including protective clothing and other protective equipment such as straps and seat belts are used in workers associated with altitude and depth .
d . Type Ear Protective Equipment ( Siswanto , 1983)
Ear protective devices ( APT ) serves as a barrier between the noise in the ears . In addition , this tool protects the use of the danger of sparks or hot metals ( g ) , for example, the explanation of ear protective devices can generally be divided into 2 types:
1 . Ear plugs ( Ear Plugs )
Ear plugs ( ear plug ) can be made from natural rubber and synthetic plastic . According to the manner of differentiated types of ear plugs go in the outer ear ( spring insert type) and cover the entire outer ear canal ( insert type) and cover the entire outer ear canal ( insert type) .
According to how to use differentiated disposable ear plugs, ear plug that is used for once. Then dumped example of cotton earplugs and night ( WAX ) used non- disposable for a long time made of rubber or molded plastic .
Advantages :
a. Easy to below as the small size .
b . Relatively more comfortable to wear comfortable workplace
c . Do not restrict the movement of the head
d . Relatively cheap price of the cap ear ( ear muff )
e . Can be used effectively without being affected by the use of goggles , earmuffs , earrings and hair .
Disadvantages :
a. Require a longer time than closed ear for proper installation
b . The level of protection is smaller than the ear flap
c . It is difficult to monitor the use of labor whether or not its use is therefore difficult to be seen by inspectors
d . Can only be used for healthy ears
e . When the hands are used to mount the dirty ear plugs ear canal will be susceptible to infection due to irritation
2 . Close Ear ( ear muff )
Close the ear ( ear muff ) consists of two pieces tuduk to close the ear , can be a liquid or foam that serves to absorb high-frequency sounds . In common usage long ears decreased efficacy due to the hardened bearings and bearing materials shrink as a result of reactions with skin oils and sweat . This reaction also occurs in the ear plugs , it is advisable to choose the type larger .
Factors affecting efektfitas ear protective devices as follows :
a. Air leakage
b . Propagation of sound waves through the material protective equipment
c . Vibration tool itself
d . Sound conduction through bone and tissue .
e . Use of the APT problem
1 . Workers do not want to wear the reasons:
a. Can not wait / do not understand
b . hot
c . crowded
d . Not good use
e . Unsightly
f . weight
g . interfere with work
h . Not in accordance with the existing hazard
i . There is no doubt
2 . Not provided by the company
a. lack of understanding
b . Pretended not to understand
c . reason danger
d . Considered useless ( because workers do not want to wear )
3 . Procurement by company
a. Not in accordance with the existing hazard
b . Originally purchased ( especially choosing the cheap )
Besides the issue of the use of ear protective devices mentioned above , some of the problems that may occur in the labor environment due to ear protective devices that encourage workers not to wear is :
a. risk of infection
b . communication difficulties
c . feel teridolasi
d . Headaches too strong jaws
e . uncomfortable
f . Reducing the distance capability suspect
g . Skin irritation .
