Safety Earplugs Ireland - Beeswift Ear Plugs in Boxes of 200 & 500

Safety earplugs - also referred to as safety earbuds - are one of the most commonly required PPE items on Irish construction sites, in manufacturing environments, and anywhere noise levels exceed safe limits. The Beeswift QED Ear Plug (box of 200) and the Beeswift QED301 Bulk Pack (box of 500) are the top-selling ear protection products at HuntOffice - foam earplugs that reduce noise exposure to safe levels in line with EN352 hearing protection standards. Both are available in corded and uncorded formats. For Irish workplaces that consume earplugs in high volume, the box-of-500 format provides the best per-unit value. Use the Ear Plugs subcategory to browse the full range.

Ear Muff Defenders - Ear Guards for High-Noise Environments

Ear muff defenders - also called ear guards - provide a higher level of noise attenuation than foam earplugs and are the preferred hearing protection in very high-noise environments such as heavy plant operation, angle grinding, and industrial machinery use. The Portwest PW41 Super Ear Muffs (EN352, Yellow) and the Portwest PS41 Super Hi-Vis Ear Protector are both top sellers — over-ear muff defenders that provide certified hearing protection with a highly visible yellow colourway for identification on site. Use the Ear Muff Defenders subcategory for the full range.

Safety Glasses & Goggles - Eye Protection for Irish Workers

Safety glasses and safety goggles protect eyes from flying particles, dust, chemical splash, and UV light - required PPE in construction, engineering, grinding, chemical handling, and laboratory environments. The Portwest PS11 Tech Look Plus Spectacle (Clear) is the top-selling safety glasses product at HuntOffice - a comfortable, lightweight clear-lens safety spectacle meeting EN166 eye protection standards. The Portwest PW20 Direct Vent Goggles (EN166, Clear) and the Bollé TRACKER PLATINUM Safety Goggles (8% below RRP) provide goggle-format eye protection for higher-risk environments. The Portwest PS38 Ultra Spectacles (Smoke) are the tinted lens option for outdoor work in bright conditions. Use the Safety Glasses subcategory to browse the full range.

Safety Visors - Full-Face Eye & Face Protection

Safety visors provide full-face protection beyond the eye coverage of safety glasses - used for grinding, cutting, chemical handling, and any task where debris or liquid may approach from an angle not covered by standard safety spectacles. The Safety Visors subcategory covers face shield and visor options for Irish workers who need more comprehensive face protection alongside or instead of safety glasses.

Safety Glasses Accessories - Lens Cleaners & Ear Guards for Glasses

Safety glasses accessories extend the life and usability of safety eyewear. The Portwest PA01 Lens Cleaning Towelettes are among the top sellers - keeping safety lens surfaces clean and scratch-free for better visibility and longer product life. Ear guards for glasses (also searched as ear guards for glasses) provide padded grip accessories for safety spectacles — preventing them slipping during active work. The Safety Glasses Accessories subcategory covers the full range of lens cloths, cases, cords, and fitting accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 - When is eye protection required in the workplace?

Eye protection is required in any workplace where there is a risk of eye injury from flying debris, dust, chemical splashes, UV radiation, or other hazards. This includes construction, woodworking, manufacturing, laboratory work, welding, and chemical handling. Under Irish health and safety legislation, employers must provide suitable eye protection where a risk assessment identifies the need. HuntOffice stocks safety glasses, safety visors, and associated accessories. Our customer service team can advise on the right protection for your environment.

2 - What is the difference between safety glasses and safety visors?

Safety glasses protect the eyes from flying particles and debris but leave the face largely exposed. Safety visors provide full-face protection and are suited to tasks involving chemical splashes, grinding, or other hazards where the wider face area needs to be protected. HuntOffice stocks both, along with safety glasses accessories such as replacement lenses and head straps. Our customer service team can help identify the right option for your specific task.

3 - What level of hearing protection do I need?

Hearing protection is required under Irish law when noise levels exceed 85dB(A) as an average over a working day, or 137dB(C) as a peak level. The level of protection needed is expressed as an SNR (Single Number Rating) - the higher the SNR, the greater the noise reduction. Ear plugs typically offer SNR values of 20-37dB, while ear muff defenders provide SNR values of 25-35dB. Our customer service team can advise on the right protection level for your noise environment.

4 - Are disposable ear plugs or reusable ear muffs better for a noisy workplace?

Both have their place depending on the working environment. Disposable foam ear plugs are convenient for intermittent noise exposure and are hygienic for individual use. Reusable ear muff defenders are better suited to sustained high-noise environments and are easier to put on and remove quickly. Helmet-mounted ear defenders are also available for workers who already wear a safety helmet. HuntOffice stocks all three types - our customer service team can help with bulk orders for large teams.

5 - Can I order eye and ear protection in bulk for my workforce?

Bulk orders for safety glasses, ear plugs, and ear defenders are placed regularly by construction companies, manufacturers, and facilities managers across Ireland. Our customer service team can provide a quote for volume orders with delivery to all 32 counties.
