Blue and yellow 3M Push-Ins foam earplugs showing 200 pairs in clear poly bag

No Roll Down Required - 3M Push-Ins Foam Earplugs (312-1002, 200 Pairs)

28dB NRR Protection with Blue Stem Design for Clean, Easy Insertion

These professional-grade push-to-fit foam earplugs deliver 28dB noise reduction rating (NRR) without the hassle of rolling down foam tips. The innovative blue stem design allows workers to insert the soft yellow E-A-Rform foam tips cleanly, even with dirty hands, making them ideal for industrial environments where traditional earplugs create contamination issues. Each box contains 200 pairs in a convenient poly bag, providing long-term hearing protection that reduces waste through reusable design.

Key Features and Benefits

Push-to-Fit Convenience - The firm blue stem eliminates the need to roll down foam, allowing quick insertion by simply pushing the earplug into the ear canal. This design keeps hands away from the foam tip, maintaining hygiene standards in dirty work environments while ensuring consistent protection levels.
Superior Noise Reduction - 28dB NRR rating meets CSA Class AL standards for industrial hearing protection. The soft E-A-Rform foam expands gently in the ear canal to create an effective seal against hazardous noise levels while maintaining comfort during extended wear periods.
Reusable Design Reduces Waste - These push-to-fit earplugs may be reused for short periods when cleaned and when your facility's hygiene policy allows. Always inspect and replace at the first signs of soil, damage, or reduced elasticity. The durable construction makes them cost-effective for facilities managing large numbers of workers requiring hearing protection.

Perfect Applications for Industrial Use

These push-in earplugs excel in demanding work environments where traditional roll-down earplugs create hygiene or efficiency challenges:

  • Manufacturing facilities - Clean insertion without hand contact reduces contamination in food processing and pharmaceutical environments
  • Construction sites - Blue stem remains visible for easy removal while providing reliable protection against power tool noise
  • Assembly lines - Quick insertion and removal supports rapid shift changes without compromising hearing protection compliance
  • Maintenance operations - Reusable design reduces waste and supply costs for facilities requiring consistent hearing protection programs

Installation and Usage Instructions

Proper Insertion: Hold the blue stem firmly between thumb and forefinger. Gently push the yellow foam tip into the ear canal until it sits comfortably and creates a seal. Do not force or over-insert.

Removal: Grasp the blue stem and slowly twist while pulling outward. The stem design prevents the earplug from being pushed deeper into the ear canal during removal.

Cleaning and Storage: Clean earplugs with mild soap and water between uses. Allow to air dry completely before storing in the poly bag to maintain hygiene and extend usable life.

Fit Testing: Compatible with 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System for workplace hearing protection compliance programs. Regular fit testing ensures optimal protection levels for individual workers.

Note: NRR 28 dB is a laboratory rating. Actual protection depends on fit and training. For best results, verify fit (e.g., with 3M E-A-Rfit) and follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 or your local regulations.
