The soft foam construction allows each plug to be compressed into a narrow cylinder before insertion, then gradually expands inside the ear canal to help create a secure and reliable acoustic seal. This makes them well suited to a wide range of noise hazard areas where disposable hearing protection is genuinely required, including construction sites, workshops, factories, manufacturing areas, maintenance departments and other environments where loud machinery or powered equipment is in regular and sustained use throughout the working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003eConnected Cord Design For Practical Intermittent Noise Environments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe corded design gives the QED301C a real and practical advantage over standard loose disposable ear plugs in everyday working situations. The connecting cord keeps both plugs together at all times, noticeably reducing the chance of losing one plug during the working day and making it considerably easier to remove or temporarily store the ear plugs when moving between noisy and quieter areas on site. This proves particularly useful in intermittent noise environments, where users may need hearing protection during certain stages of a task but not continuously throughout the full shift, allowing quick and convenient refitting without the frustration of searching for a misplaced plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003eHigh SNR 39 Attenuation With Strong Broadband Frequency Performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an SNR rating of 39dB, the QED301C delivers a high level of overall noise attenuation when fitted correctly within the ear canal. The H 38dB, M 37dB and L 34dB values demonstrate strong and consistent attenuation across high, medium and low frequency noise ranges, supporting effective use around many common industrial and construction noise sources. As with all foam ear plugs, correct fitting is genuinely essential to achieving the rated performance. These corded disposable ear plugs are a practical and dependable option for users searching for SNR 39 ear plugs, corded foam ear plugs, disposable hearing protection, EN352-2 ear plugs and reliable industrial noise protection for everyday workplace use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/beeswift-qed301c-corded-disposable-foam-ear-plugs-102_1024x1024.webp?v=1779474671\" alt=\"Beeswift QED301C Corded Disposable Foam Ear Plugs - Ear Plugs\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttenuation Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\n.tg  {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;}\n.tg td{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg th{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  font-weight:normal;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg .tg-82d1{background-color:#e0e0e0;border-color:#9b9b9b;color:#343434;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;\n  vertical-align:middle}\n.tg .tg-mddw{background-color:#e0e0e0;border-color:#9b9b9b;color:#343434;font-size:14px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle}\n.tg .tg-j3o9{background-color:#e0e0e0;border-color:#9b9b9b;color:#343434;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;\n  vertical-align:middle}\n.tg .tg-5bll{background-color:#e0e0e0;border-color:#9b9b9b;color:#343434;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle}\n.tg .tg-gulk{background-color:#e0e0e0;border-color:#9b9b9b;color:#343434;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle}\n.tg .tg-kzpj{background-color:#e0e0e0;border-color:#9b9b9b;color:#343434;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle}\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tg {width: auto !important;}.tg col {width: auto !important;}.tg-wrap {overflow-x: auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tg-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tg\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-j3o9\"\u003eFrequency (Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-82d1\"\u003e63Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-82d1\"\u003e125Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-82d1\"\u003e250Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-82d1\"\u003e500Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-82d1\"\u003e1000Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-82d1\"\u003e2000Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-5bll\"\u003e4000Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-5bll\"\u003e8000Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-j3o9\"\u003eMean Attenuation (dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e34.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e36.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e41.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e41.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e39.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e42.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e46.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-j3o9\"\u003eStandard Deviation (dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e5.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e5.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e5.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e4.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-mddw\"\u003e2.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e4.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e4.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-kzpj\"\u003eAssumed Protection (dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e29.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e31.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e36.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e37.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e36.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e38.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-gulk\"\u003e41.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-Use Inspection: \u003c\/strong\u003eCheck the ear plugs before use to make sure they are clean, undamaged and suitable for insertion.

Manufactured from compressible foam, they are rolled down before insertion and expand inside the ear canal to form a noise-reducing seal. The connecting cord helps keep the ear plugs together, making them easier to remove, temporarily hang around the neck and locate between uses during a shift. With an SNR rating of 39dB, plus H 38dB, M 37dB and L 34dB attenuation values, they offer a high level of hearing protection when correctly fitted, and conform to EN352-2:2002 for hearing protector ear plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What makes the corded design of Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs practically useful?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The corded design of Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs provides a real practical advantage over loose disposable ear plugs. The cord keeps both plugs connected, reducing the chance of losing one plug during the working day and making it much easier to remove or temporarily store the ear plugs when moving between noisy and quieter areas. Workers can simply remove the plugs and let them hang around the neck, keeping them clean, accessible and ready for quick refitting when noise exposure resumes. This is particularly useful in intermittent noise environments where hearing protection is needed during certain stages of work but not throughout the full shift, improving PPE compliance without the inconvenience of locating loose plugs repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Where can Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs be used in the workplace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Beeswift QED301C Corded Disposable Foam Ear Plugs are designed for a wide range of noisy workplace environments. Typical applications include construction site noise protection around cutting equipment, power tools and plant movement, manufacturing and production areas with sustained machinery and process noise, and workshop and fabrication work involving metalworking, woodworking, drilling and grinding. They are also well suited to maintenance and facilities tasks around compressors, pumps and powered tools, warehousing and logistics environments with vehicle movement and handling equipment, intermittent noise exposure areas, visitor PPE in noise zones, and DIY and home improvement use. In each case, the workplace noise assessment must confirm the SNR 39dB attenuation level is appropriate for the actual measured exposure conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) When should Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs be worn during a working day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs should be worn whenever the workplace noise assessment identifies a need for hearing protection at the SNR 39dB attenuation level. Under UK Control of Noise at Work Regulations, hearing protection becomes mandatory above the upper exposure action value of 85dB(A), though employers should also make protection available above the lower exposure action value of 80dB(A). The QED301C is particularly suited to sustained very high noise exposure where strong attenuation is required. They should be worn continuously throughout exposure to harmful noise, as removing them even briefly can significantly reduce the effective protection received. The corded design supports compliance by keeping the plugs readily accessible when workers move between noisy and quieter areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What are the main advantages of choosing Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs offer a strong combination of practical advantages for noisy workplaces. The high SNR 39dB rating provides one of the highest levels of overall attenuation available in standard hearing protection, making them suitable for very demanding noise environments. The corded design keeps both plugs connected and accessible throughout the shift, improving compliance during intermittent noise exposure. The soft compressible foam provides comfortable wear, while the strong frequency attenuation profile with H 38dB, M 37dB and L 34dB values delivers reliable protection across the full noise spectrum. The disposable format supports good hygiene practice, and the convenient corded design makes them easy to issue from PPE stations, maintenance stores and visitor access points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What technical specifications and standards do Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs meet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Beeswift QED301C Corded Disposable Foam Ear Plugs meet several recognised standards for hearing protection. They conform to EN352-2:2002, the European standard covering ear plug style hearing protectors, which sets out requirements for testing, performance, marking and user information. They carry an SNR (Single Number Rating) of 39dB, indicating a very high level of attenuation. The frequency-specific ratings are H 38dB for high frequency attenuation, M 37dB for medium frequency attenuation and L 34dB for low frequency attenuation, providing strong protection across the full noise spectrum. The product is CE marked confirming assessment against applicable European PPE requirements, supporting compliant use when correctly selected for the identified noise hazard in the working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What does the SNR 39dB rating actually mean on Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The SNR (Single Number Rating) of 39dB on Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs gives a general indication of the overall noise reduction the ear plugs provide. In simple terms, when worn correctly, the plugs are rated to reduce the wearer’s perceived sound level by approximately 39 decibels across a broad range of frequencies. To estimate effective workplace exposure, the SNR value is subtracted from the measured noise level. For example, in a 105dB environment, wearing the QED301C correctly would theoretically reduce exposure to around 66dB at the ear. However, real-world attenuation depends heavily on correct insertion depth, seal integrity and continuous wear, so the SNR should always be checked against actual measured workplace noise levels rather than assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How should Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs be fitted correctly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) To fit Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs correctly, first check the plugs are clean, undamaged and suitable for use. With clean, dry hands, gently roll the foam plug between the fingers to compress it into a narrow, smooth cylindrical shape, avoiding creasing or folding. With the opposite hand, reach over the head and gently pull the ear upward and backward to straighten the ear canal. Insert the compressed plug carefully into the ear canal and hold it in place for around 20 to 30 seconds while the foam expands to form a close, comfortable seal. Allow the cord to hang loosely around the neck while wearing. Before entering noise, check both plugs are seated correctly and noticeably reduce surrounding sound levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What do the H, M and L values mean on Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The H, M and L values on Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs provide more detailed information about how the ear plugs perform across different noise frequencies. The H value of 38dB indicates strong attenuation against high frequency noise, which is often produced by cutting tools, grinders, saws and certain industrial processes with sharper sound profiles. The M value of 37dB indicates attenuation against medium frequency noise, supporting use in many mixed industrial, workshop and construction environments where general machinery noise is present. The L value of 34dB indicates attenuation against lower frequency noise, helping guide selection in environments where engines, compressors, plant or heavier equipment produce deeper sound profiles. These values allow more accurate hearing protection selection when the dominant noise frequency has been identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Are there practical tips for getting the best results with Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) For the best results with Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs, always wash and dry your hands before handling the plugs to maintain hygiene. Take time to roll the foam into a neat, crease-free cylinder, as folded or unevenly compressed plugs will not seal properly. Pull the ear upward and backward to straighten the ear canal before inserting, and hold the plug in place while the foam expands fully. Allow the cord to hang loosely around the neck rather than pulling it tight or trapping it, as this could disturb the seal. Check both plugs reduce surrounding noise before entering the work area, refitting if the seal is poor. Remove by gently twisting rather than pulling sharply, and dispose of the plugs responsibly after each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What are the limitations of Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs have several important limitations to be aware of. The SNR 39dB rating represents laboratory tested attenuation, so real-world protection depends heavily on correct insertion, seal integrity and continuous wear. Poorly rolled or inserted plugs can significantly reduce effective attenuation. They are disposable and intended for single-use only, and should not be cleaned and reused, as the foam loses its compressibility and hygiene is compromised. The cord should never be pulled tight or trapped while the plugs are inserted, as this can disturb the acoustic seal. They should not be used for noise levels exceeding their attenuation capacity, shared between users, or used if dirty, torn or hardened. As with all PPE, selection must be based on a workplace noise assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What care and storage is recommended for Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Beeswift QED301C Ear Plugs should be stored and handled correctly to maintain their hygiene and attenuation performance. Keep the unused plugs in their original sealed packaging until ready for use, storing them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, contamination, dust and extreme temperatures. Inspect each pair before use to confirm the foam is clean, undamaged and suitable for insertion. Once a pair has been used, dispose of them responsibly in a suitable bin, as they are not designed to be cleaned and reused. Always wash and dry your hands before handling fresh plugs. Never share ear plugs between users for hygiene and infection control reasons, and never use plugs that appear dirty, hardened, torn or otherwise compromised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eData Sheets\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/QED301C_TECH.pdf?v=1682447076\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Data Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/QED301C_TECH.pdf?v=1682447076\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/QEDCORDEDEARPLUGSTECH_160x160.jpg?v=1682447033\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/QED301C_DOC.pdf?v=1682447079\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeclaration of Conformity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/QED301C_DOC.pdf?v=1682447079\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/QEDCORDEDEARPLUGSCOSHH_160x160.jpg?v=1682447039\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beeswift","offers":[{"title":"Pair","offer_id":44591086272790,"sku":"EARQEDEPC-P","price":0.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box of 200 pairs","offer_id":44591086305558,"sku":"EARQEDEPC","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/beeswift-qed301c-corded-disposable-foam-ear-plugs-pair-791.webp?v=1779474666","url":"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/beeswift-qed301c-corded-disposable-foam-ear-plugs-snr-39db","provider":"Platinum Chemicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
