3M™ Personal Safety Division launches new PELTOR™ headsets
New set of PELTOR headsets offer industry-specific protection to meet the needs of workers, law enforcement, shooting sports enthusiasts and more
Workers that need to wear hearing protection on the job often have diverse safety and usability concerns. In law enforcement, it’s very important that hearing protection cut out unsafe noise levels, but allow the wearer to hear important warning sounds such as alarms or signals. In other fields such as manufacturing, allowing for communication while blocking out consistent loud noises is important. To help overcome a range of issues, 3M™ Personal Safety Division has expanded its line of PELTOR™ headsets with four new products: 3M™ PELTOR™ ProTac™ Hunter & ProTac™ Shooter, 3M™ PELTOR™ ProTac™ III and 3M™ PELTOR™ WorkTunes™ Pro AM/FM Radio Headset. Benefitting workers, law enforcement and shooting sports enthusiasts, PELTOR headsets are designed for use in hazardous, high noise environments.
“While the primary objective of personal protective equipment is to protect users from hazards, it should be designed in a way that allows users to remain productive and effective,” said Doug Moses, US Marketing Manager for Protective Communication Solutions for 3M. “Our scientists and specialists have developed four headsets that not only help protect users from hazardous noise, but also help them communicate and hear important environmental sounds. It’s about minimizing over-protection to ensure our headsets provide the level of safety needed while providing comfort and functionality.”
