Safe Safety Glasses

Maintenance of safety glasses

Eye protection devices must be properly maintained:

Eye protection devices must be properly maintained. Safety glasses will not withstand repeated impact or abuse. Therefore, you must inspect them on a regular basis for scratches, cracks or other wear and replace them if they are scratched, bent or uncomfortable. Scratched and dirty eyeglasses reduce vision, cause glare and may contribute to accidents. Scratched lenses can also weaken the structure of the lens and its resistance to impact.

Safety glasses should be cleaned daily:
Wipe with a dry clean soft cloth
Clean with mild soap or mild detergent and water
Pat dry with clean lint free cloth
Disinfect with the following (which will not affect coatings):
General disinfectant
UV light germicide chamber
Place at 100 degrees C for one hour

Replace scratched, pitted, broken, bent or ill-fitting glasses. Damaged glasses interfere with vision and do not provide protection. Replace damaged parts only with identical parts from the original manufacturer to ensure safety and proper fit. Proper maintenance of safety glasses will help to ensure that last for a long time and protect your eyes well.
