What Do the Laws and Regulations Say?

wet- en regelgeving
Working Conditions Act Article 3

Under Article 3 of the Working Conditions Act, employers are required to protect employees against risks to their eyes and hearing. In a food processing company, with production lines, cleaning agents, and cold storage, this duty is significant.

informatie
RI&E

In your risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E), you determine the necessary protection for each role and workstation. A technician has different requirements than a service advisor working behind a screen.

europese wet- en regelgeving
European standards

Eye protection falls under EN ISO 16321-1, the successor to EN 166. Custom earplugs fall under EN 352-2. Only certified products qualify as protective equipment.

Eye and Hearing Protection for the Food Industry

The food industry sets specific requirements for protective equipment. Otoplastics with detection balls make it easy to find lost hearing protection, even in large amounts of liquid or food mass. Our safety glasses, computer glasses and otoplastics are designed to be worn safely in production environments and meet the highest hygiene standards.

FAQ for the Food Industry

Which eye and hearing protection is mandatory in the food industry?

That is determined by your risk assessment (RI&E) for each role and workstation. For flying particles and splashes, eye protection according to EN ISO 16321-1 is the standard, while hearing protection is mandatory when machine noise exceeds limit values. An employee on the production line therefore requires different protection than a quality controller working behind a screen. We are happy to help you translate your risk assessment into a concrete policy for each role.

Are the safety glasses safe for use in a food processing environment?

Yes. Our lenses are shatterproof, eliminating the risk of glass shards in the product. They are also lightweight and feature anti-scratch and anti-smudge coatings, making them suitable for intensive use on the production floor.

Do the safety glasses fog up when working in a cold storage room?

Standard lenses can fog up when moving between warm and cold areas. Our safety glasses are therefore available with an anti-fog coating, ensuring clear vision when entering a cold storage or freezer room.

Can employees who wear glasses use a full-face mask during cleaning?

Not with regular glasses, as the temples break the mask's seal. The solution is a prescription mask insert, a frame that fits inside the mask without compromising the seal. Our mask inserts are compatible with full-face masks from brands like MSA and Dräger, while maintaining the mask's safety certification.

How do I keep track of orders for the production line and office?

Through the Seeh portal, you can easily add employees to the scheme and set the required protection for each job role. They can have their protective gear fitted and collected at any of our 400+ Hans Anders stores, with no out-of-pocket expenses. The portal gives you a clear overview of usage and costs per branch or department.
