Recent inspections by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) outlined notable weaknesses in workplace hearing protection with significant deficiencies in training, storage, and awareness.

The training indicated that more than three-quarters of employees did not understand how to correctly wear and report hearing protection, and two-thirds did not know when it should be worn when exposed to noise.

Further, training on the effective use of hearing protection was notably absent, with 80 per cent having received no instruction on wearing the protection correctly.

A major change is happening in clothes for safety in the workplace, where the standard will be personal protective equipment (PPE) for women, which is made to fit properly.

The campaign by Robinson has brought forward the launch of a British Standard, which stresses that every worker should receive PPE that fits them, rather than the norm of design, which has historically been based on 'average man' sizes.

With research indicating that 46% of British women say they have received ill-fitting PPE, this will make a significant difference to safety and comfort across disciplines such as construction, healthcare and policing, with the reality that women also work on site.
