Essential Hearing Protection

These 3M 311-4109 ear plugs deliver a Noise Reduction Rating of 32 dB for reliable hearing protection. The corded design keeps the pair together and prevents loss during use. Metal detectable construction supports safety compliance in food processing and manufacturing environments. Supplied as 200 pairs in a bulk bag for convenient dispensing.

Suited for Industrial Compliance

Workers in food production, pharmaceuticals and general manufacturing benefit from the metal detectable feature and high attenuation. The reusable polyurethane foam and vinyl cord withstand daily wear in demanding settings. Buyers needing individually wrapped pairs for hygiene kits or a lower NRR for moderate noise should consider alternative options.

Bulk Capacity for Team Supply

Each package provides 200 pairs, offering extended supply for shift rotations and large crews. The universal medium bullet shape fits most adult ear canals without adjustment. Standards compliance follows ANSI S3.19-1974 testing protocols. Very high noise environments exceeding the rated attenuation will require dual protection or engineering controls.

Questions about this item

Do I need to wear a headband or helmet for the corded 32 dB plugs to stay in place?

No extra headgear is required; the vinyl cord simply hangs around the neck when the plugs are removed.

Will the blue vinyl band and yellow foam plugs interfere with my existing safety glasses or hard hat?

The low-profile bullet shape and flexible cord sit clear of most eyewear and helmet suspension systems.

How can I confirm the 32 dB attenuation is still effective after repeated use?

Inspect the foam for tears or permanent compression and verify the metal-detectable element remains intact; replace the pair if either shows wear.
