Howard Leight fdt-30 Corded Earplugs 25 Nrr Blue

Product Description

The HOWARD LEIGHT fdt-30 is a corded, multiple-use earplug designed for extended wear in industrial and process environments where hearing protection and foreign body detectability are both required. Rated at 25 NRR, the fdt-30 features a FlexiFirm core for straightforward insertion and a secure fit over long shifts. The patented SoftFlange design conforms to the ear canal, maintaining attenuation without requiring constant readjustment. An attached cord and embedded metal stem ring make the earplug detectable by metal detection and X-ray systems, a critical requirement in food processing, pharmaceutical, and other regulated production settings.

The fdt-30 is suited for workers in process industries where contamination control standards require detectable PPE. Typical applications include food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and any facility operating metal detection or X-ray inspection lines. The earplug is available in two sizes, large and small, allowing supervisors and safety managers to fit a range of workers. Blue coloration provides additional visual detectability against most product and work surface backgrounds.

Key Features

• 25 NRR noise reduction rating for industrial hearing protection compliance
• FlexiFirm core enables easy insertion and a consistent, secure fit
• Patented SoftFlange design conforms to individual ear canal geometry
• Embedded metal stem ring supports metal detection and X-ray detectability
• Attached cord keeps the pair together and reduces drop contamination risk
• Available in two sizes for broader worker fit range

Compatibility

Designed as a multiple-use corded earplug for workers in process and manufacturing industries requiring detectable hearing protection PPE.

Installation Notes

Earplugs should be fitted by rolling, inserting, and holding until the foam expands fully in the ear canal. Workers should be trained on proper donning and doffing procedures per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 hearing conservation program requirements. Inspect each earplug before use for tears, hardening, or damage to the SoftFlange or cord connection. Replace when the plug no longer returns to its original shape or when the cord shows signs of deterioration.
