3M™ E-a-r™ Push-ins™ Earplugs 318-1001, Corded, Poly Bag, 400 Pair/Case

3M Push In Earplugs 318-1001

The 3M push in earplugs provide a new way to protect your hearing. They combine the quick use of pre-molded plugs with the excellent seal of foam. You don't need the usual slow roll-down insertion. This product, marked with the part number 318-1001, offers immediate protection and a reliable fit. It is a great option for industries that require strong compliance, such as construction, general manufacturing, and heavy infrastructure.

The core of this system is the innovative stem-and-tip design. Instead of handling the soft foam directly, users grasp the firm, flexible fitting stem to guide the soft EARform™ foam tip straight into the ear canal. This easy push in ear plug method allows for quick and clean insertion, reducing the risk of contaminating the foam. This is important for workers with dirty or gloved hands. The smooth surface of the foam tip lets it slide into place easily. The slow-recovery material gently expands to fit the ear canal, ensuring a comfortable and secure seal throughout the day.

These 3M push in earplugs have a reliable Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 28 dB. They provide enough protection in areas with moderate to high noise levels, such as grinding, machine operations, and welding. This product is supplied in bulk for commercial efficiency, with 400 pairs of corded plugs per case, each individually sealed in poly bags for hygiene and dispensing ease. Furthermore, the 318-1001 is compatible with the 3M™ E-A-Rfit™ Validation System, allowing safety managers to easily and quickly verify the precise protection level each employee is receiving. Choose these push in ear plugs to streamline workplace compliance, enhance worker comfort, and maximize protection.

7. *U.S. EPA specifies the NRR as the measure of hearing protector noise reduction. However, 3M makes no warranties as to the suitability of the NRR for this purpose. 3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit, fitting skill, and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations or guidance on how to adjust attenuation label values. It is recommended that the NRR be reduced by 50% to better estimate typical protection.
