Eye Wash Stations

Eyewash Stations for First Response to Eye Injuries

Eyewash stations are specialized emergency preparedness supplies found in settings with a risk of eye exposure to dust, chemicals, or other hazardous materials. They typically have a basin-like housing designed to flush the eyes with consistent water flow from a pull-down valve. They generally deliver a flow rate of 0.4 gallons per minute (GPM) at 30 PSI, with a spray pattern that covers the eyes and face, ensuring immediate and thorough cleansing. The units must be installed within 10 seconds' walking distance from hazardous areas, according to ANSI Z358.1-2014 standards, and inspected and tested weekly to ensure proper functionality. Promptly using an eyewash faucet minimizes the severity of eye injuries and prevents further damage.

Two types of emergency eyewash stations are available in the market.

• Plumbed models are connected to a potable water line.
• Portable eyewash stations are self-contained units with water supply in cartridges or tanks.
