Test Your “EYE-Q”… Expert Version
My Beginner’s Version” of “Test your ‘Eye-Q’” in THE July 2017 IST was a big hit! The “Intermediate Version” appeared in the November 2017 issue. But, are you an EXPERT? Here’s the test:
When I change lamps in my tanning units, do I need to protect my eyes?
Yes! It is critical for an equipment maintenance tech to wear eye protection when checking or changing lamps in your salon. There are inexpensive UV block safety glasses (under $10) designed just for this use and every salon should have a couple of pairs on hand. Check with your favorite distributor to order. Some technicians wear sunglasses, but the shape and design rarely block the UV light from all the sides to provide adequate protection. They also tend to have dark lenses, which makes it difficult to see when the tanning room is dark and the unit has not yet been turned on.
I always wear my own goggles when I tan. Do I need to clean them?
