CLEAR SIGHT 5 SIGNS YOU NEED TO REPLACE YOUR SAFETY GLASSES

摘要

Age, damage and general wear and tear can all reduce the effectiveness of protective eyewear, while changes to work or personal circumstances can result in it no longer being fit for the task, wearer or environment. Although many remember to consider the fit of safety eyewear when choosing it initially, it can be easy to forget about the ongoing suitability of personal protective equipment (PPE). At times it will be necessary to upgrade or replace damaged, old or inappropriate protective eyewear to maintain adequate protection against hazards such as impacts, heat, chemicals, dust and radiation. While the Australian Standards do not indicate a set replacement schedule for safety eyewear, these five signs will help you decide if it is time to get a new pair.
