Care and Inspections of PPE
The lenses of LPE should be cleaned and inspected periodically. They must be cleaned carefully in order to avoid damaging the absorbing and reflecting surfaces. In some cases, such as the use of LPE in surgery, eyewear may require cleaning after each use. Always follow the manufacturer's instruction when cleaning and disinfecting LPE.
LPE should be inspected regularly, including:
- Inspection of the attenuation material for pitting, crazing, cracking, discoloration, and other defects
- Inspection of the frame for mechanical integrity
- Inspection of straps or other retaining devices to ensure that they are not excessively worn or damaged
- Inspection for light leaks and coating damage that would permit hazardous viewing
