Eye and Hearing Protection for the Offshore Sector

On an oil rig, a compressor never stops, and on a wind farm, a technician spends hours in a high-risk environment. While the risks vary by workplace, the safety requirements remain the same everywhere. Seeh provides prescription safety glasses and custom-molded earplugs, tailored to both the role and the individual employee.

FAQ for Offshore Companies

Which standard applies to offshore hearing protection?

Custom-molded earplugs for offshore use comply with EN 352-2, the European standard for hearing protection. For work on platforms, the requirements of the Health and Safety Decree for work on offshore installations also apply, in addition to the standard risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E) obligation under the Working Conditions Act.

Do alarms remain audible with custom-molded earplugs?

Yes. The filters in our custom-molded earplugs are tuned to the noise level of the workplace, ensuring that harmful noise is dampened while alarms and communication via radio or intercom remain audible.

Can custom-molded earplugs be worn under a helmet or earmuffs?

Yes. Because they are custom-fitted, custom-molded earplugs stay securely in the ear canal and do not take up space required for a helmet or additional earmuffs worn over the protection.

Are prescription safety glasses resistant to saltwater and weather conditions?

Our safety glasses are certified according to EN ISO 16321-1 and are available with coatings that are resistant to condensation and water spray, making them suitable for use on deck and outdoors.

What is the cost of hearing and eye protection for an offshore team?

Costs depend on the number of employees and the type of protection required per workstation. For an overview of our rates, you can download our price list or contact us for a custom quote.
