Inspect gloves. Put in a purchase request for any pairs that have holes or excessive wear (don't throw them out until we have replacements)

### Helmets   


1. Make a purchase request if the helmet is nonfunctional: 
    - If there are holes or excessive wear
    - If the head strap is broken
    - If the lens is difficult to see through
2. Confirm the helments auto-darken - shine a phone light on them or take them into direct sunlight
3. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth

### Jackets

1. Inspect and report any holes, wear, or more than 3 missing buttons
2. If any are excessively dirty, file a tool report so they can be machine washed (warm water, regular detergent, high water level)
