[QUOTE="hondo, post: 262784, member: 8661"] Hello corroded Chris. Get yourself some earplugs. I sometimes use ones rated at 26db noise reduction (disposable, no neck cord, and they're brightly colored so it's obvious you're wearing them, unless you've got long hair-which should be tied up anyway). I figure this way I won't end up working in the area where all our hearing impaired employees are. When I was loading, in the front of the long boxes (45'-53' trailers), the noise wasn't too bad. But the closer you got to the back, or in the bays closer to the alarm horns it's bad. Couldn't hear the PA (if they were even working) anyway when in the nose of the trailers. You might have a hard time hearing anyone talking at a normal conversation level, but at UPS, who's talking at normal conversation levels? Loud talking and the warning buzzers are no problem, true noise reduction earplugs just "clip" off noise above a certain level, as The Big Babooba and Cementups alluded. And it's possible your [-]safety weenie[/-] CHSP person has cases of them in the back of a cabinet somewhere. [/QUOTE]
