Subject: Glove box inspection checklist?


I have a lab that is using a glove box to maintain an inert atmosphere 
with argon while working with lithium ribbon. While the operation looks ok 
on the surface, they can't document or prove that they haven't had any 
failures (research labs are not production & no one ever thinks of these 
things!). Does anyone have a glove box inspection checklist or other info 
they can share?

Thanks in advance for your help!
