eyewash station

Chemical splash remedy

An eyewash station is a safety device that delivers a gentle flow of water to flush contaminants from the eyes.

Required in workplaces where chemicals, dust, or other hazards might cause eye injuries, they're typically wall-mounted units near laboratories, manufacturing areas, or anywhere corrosive materials are handled.
