eye wash stations

Chemical splash remedy

Eye wash stations are safety fixtures that deliver a gentle flow of water to flush contaminants from the eyes.

Required in workplaces where chemical splashes or debris pose hazards, they're typically wall-mounted units with twin nozzles positioned to rinse both eyes simultaneously.

The lab inspector checked that the eye wash station was within ten seconds of the chemical storage area.
