A hearing protection initiative introduced by Beatson Clark has been recognised by British Glass at the annual Glass Focus Awards in Manchester. The glass packaging manufacturer won the Health and Safety Action award sponsored by Glass International.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss is a widespread health issue and Beatson Clark recognises that the hearing protection devices it provides for employees are individual and require correct fitting to provide the appropriate level of protection. The company is the first glass manufacturer in the UK to use the 3M E-A-Rfit Dual-Ear Validation System, and since being introduced earlier this year the equipment has produced excellent results.

Beatson Clark’s Sales and Marketing Director Dawn Pugh, Marketing Manager Charlotte Pike and Health and Safety Manager Diane Bainbridge attended the awards ceremony at the National Football Museum on 16th November.

Dawn Pugh commented: “We were over the moon to win this award, which recognises the important work we’re doing to ensure effective hearing protection for our colleagues. Thanks to Diane Bainbridge and her team for the work they have put into this initiative.”
