I have been informed (by one of our non safety managers) that the disposable "sponge type" ear plugs (E.A.R Classics) should not be used due to safety reasons -
Does anyone know anything more about this or can give me further information.
This "ban" is news to me and my company have used these types of ear plugs for a long time and they are still available by our supplier.
Any information would be very helpful.

Don't know where your 'non-safety' expert got this from. I have just ordered same from Arco's 2006 catalogue!

Some people can suffer irritation from open cell foam ear plugs; such users should be offered more suitable protection.

What Paul said!
Also, it is possible for some people to get infection of the ear from the debris [skin, skin oils etc] that are inserted into the ear with the Ear Insert.
The ear itself, the insert and the the hand that rolls & inserts it must be scrupuously clean.
Incidentally, there are people who experience discomfort from ear pressurisation effects when using Inserts while suffering from head-colds.
