Howard Leight QD30-RC Corded Earplugs 26 Db Nrr 50 Pair

Product Description

The HOWARD LEIGHT QD30-RC is a corded, no-roll contoured earplug designed for repeated daily use in high-noise industrial and trade environments. Molded from soft vinyl in a contoured profile, these earplugs achieve a 26 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) without requiring the rolling or compression technique common to foam plugs. The attached polycord keeps the pair together between uses, reducing loss and making retrieval faster in gloved-hand conditions. Each package contains 50 pairs in a universal size, suitable for most adult ear canals. Installation requires no tools and takes seconds per worker.

These earplugs are suited for construction sites, mechanical rooms, manufacturing floors, and other environments where sustained noise exposure requires hearing protection under OSHA guidelines. The orange color provides a reasonable degree of visibility for safety supervisors confirming compliance during site inspections. Because no rolling is required, workers with limited dexterity or those wearing gloves can insert them quickly without extended manipulation. The corded design is particularly practical in areas where dropped PPE creates a contamination or FOD concern.

Key Features

• 26 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for significant attenuation in high-noise environments
• No-roll contoured insertion — no compression or shaping required before insertion
• Soft vinyl construction conforms to the ear canal without foam expansion pressure
• Attached polycord keeps pairs together and allows the earplugs to hang around the neck when not in use
• Universal size fits most adult ear canals
• 50 pairs per package for worksite or tool crib distribution

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose corded hearing protector for universal adult fit, suitable for compliance programs governed by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 and ANSI S3.19 noise exposure standards.

Installation Notes

These earplugs are installed by end users, not by a licensed trade contractor. No tools or power shutoffs are required. Proper fit is achieved by gently inserting the contoured plug into the ear canal without rolling — follow the manufacturer insertion instructions printed on the packaging. Safety coordinators should verify a proper seal is achieved, as an improperly seated plug will not deliver rated NRR attenuation.
