Proper Care
- Inspection and maintenance is an important consideration when wearing eye protection.
- Continuous vision through dirty lenses causes strain and can become an excuse for not wearing eye protection.
- Pitted, cracked, scratched or broken lenses reduce vision, lead to disuse, and tend to break more easily.
- Inspect for damage – look for knotted, twisted, worn, or stretched goggle straps – look for pitted or scratched lenses or face shield windows.
- Dispose of and replace damaged PPE.
- Clean lenses with water plus soap or mild detergent.
- Disinfect if contaminated by chemicals or if used by others.
- Store in the proper place or in a closed container.
