Many employees are exposed to harmful noise levels on a daily basis. As an employee, you do not want to suffer permanent hearing damage as a result of your work and, of course, as an organization you do not want your employees to be put at unnecessary risk. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, you are even obliged to offer professional hearing protection (such as otoplastics) to employees who are exposed to harmful noise levels. But what about the right to otoplastics and reimbursement?
In the context of noise exposure and prevention of hearing damage, from an exposure level of 80 dB(A) hearing protection must be made available to employees. Starting at these noise levels, both employees and employers are required to wear and make available hearing protection. The employer must ensure that this protection is actually worn. Must an employer reimburse otoplastics? The answer is yes, otoplastics must be reimbursed by an employer.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act (Arbowet) does not specifically state anything about a maximum allowance for otoplastics. However, it is important to note that employers are required to provide a safe working environment and to provide the necessary protective equipment, such as otoplastics, if necessary to prevent hearing damage. Here is a relevant quote from Article 3 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act:
"The employer shall ensure the safety and health of the employees on all aspects related to work and to this end shall implement a policy aimed at ensuring the best possible working conditions."
Regarding the fees and costs for otoplastics, these are often included in the agreements and contracts between companies and suppliers such as Seeh. Our price list specifies the cost of otoplastics, but does not mention a maximum reimbursement from the law. Specific agreements can be made on this per company. For more detailed information on the cost of otoplastics, please refer to the price lists.

In een werkomgeving met veel lawaai loop je snel risico op gehoorbeschadiging. Volgens de Arbowet is het de verantwoordelijkheid van de werkgever om ervoor te zorgen dat werknemers in een veilige omgeving werken, zonder gezondheidsrisico’s door geluidsoverlast. Otoplastieken, ook wel oordoppen op maat, zijn essentieel voor iedereen die langdurig wordt blootgesteld aan geluiden boven de 80 decibel (dB). Denk hierbij aan sectoren zoals de bouw, industrie, evenementen en logistiek.
Gehoorschade is vaak onomkeerbaar en kan grote impact hebben op je dagelijkse leven. Door te investeren in otoplastieken zorgen werkgevers ervoor dat werknemers hun werk veilig kunnen uitvoeren zonder het risico op gehoorschade.

Ja, in beroepen waar het geluidsniveau regelmatig boven de 80 dB komt, zijn werkgevers verplicht om gehoorbescherming aan te bieden. Bij 85 dB of meer wordt het dragen van otoplastieken vaak verplicht gesteld door de werkgever.
Ja, otoplastieken kunnen ook buiten werktijd worden gebruikt, bijvoorbeeld tijdens het motorrijden, concertbezoek of andere activiteiten met veel lawaai. Ze zijn op maat gemaakt en bieden bescherming zonder het gehoor volledig af te sluiten.
Gemiddeld gaan otoplastieken 2 tot 3 jaar mee. Regelmatige controle is echter essentieel om ervoor te zorgen dat ze goed blijven passen en hun beschermende werking behouden. Dit wordt aanbevolen om ongeveer één keer per jaar te doen.
De kosten verschillen per product en afhankelijk van je specifieke wensen. We zijn transparant in onze prijzen. Voor de prijzen van otoplastieken, kijk hier.
