Maintenance of personal protective equipment

Maintenance of personal protective equipment: I have been working on this area recently, so I’m posting this here in the hope of sparking discussion and receiving valuable suggestions and opinions from everyone. Note: Our company is a API manufacturer. Work uniforms are washed uniformly by the company on a weekly basis; if special materials are involved, individuals must first preprocess them so that they can be washed directly ； Work shoes: Personal maintenance. Safety helmet: Wipe the inside of the safety helmet with a towel dipped in soapy water to remove dirt; then dampen the towel again and wipe off the soap, after which place it in a cool place to dry. Note: Do not expose it to direct sunlight, as this may shorten the lifespan of the safety helmet. The basic service life is 3 years. Long and short rubber gloves: Wash with clean water, keep away from strong light and heat sources, and store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. For special materials, soak the outer surface in acetone first, then use laundry detergent, and finally rinse with clean water. Safety glasses: Clean the dirt with a dedicated cleaning solution, store them in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight, and try to avoid any friction on the lens area when storing them. Gas mask: The mask itself can be cleaned. Before cleaning, remove the filter cartridge, use the provided cleaning cloth to clean the mask, or soak it in warm water at a temperature not exceeding 120°C and clean it with a soft brush until it is clean, then let it dry in a clean environment. If necessary, use a neutral detergent; do not use detergents containing lanolin. Protective clothing, chemical-resistant suits: When in contact with special materials, the user must pre-treat them, then wash them with laundry detergent, followed by multiple rinses with plenty of clean water. After washing, let it dry naturally, then store it in a pollution-free environment.
