Some time ago our guild purchase a large number of rispirator type helmets that were to be used while teaching new club members during the hands on sessions as well as the kids at the different schools our club goes into and works with the individual shop teachers assisting them with a turning program. We wanted to teach new folks the importance of lung and eye / face safety.
All was well until the latest H1N1 and other related bugs started to surface.
The question has been raised as to whether or not this is a safe practise.
Our clubs procedure after use of the helmets they are sprayed with a disinfectant spray and the shields wiped down.
All other soft parts inside the helmet can be removed for washing or replacement should we wish to do so.
My question I suppose is are these shields only a personal use item or with the proper care is our club is on the right track with this program.
