Faucet Mount Eyewash Stations for Emergencies

Faucet mount eyewash stations are a required component of any workspace where employees are exposed to chemicals or corrosive materials. They convert a regular faucet into an emergency unit, mounting on standard and many gooseneck spouts. Employees working with hazardous substances should be ready for emergencies. Faucet mount eyewash stations flush lukewarm water to the eyes and face to prevent potentially more serious eye injuries.

Features of Faucet Mount Eyewash Stations

Although there are many different types with various sizes and designs, these emergency units carry out the same task of spraying water to wash out the chemical buildups on the eyes and face. Wall mount, deck mount, or freestanding eyewash stations come with plumbing adaptors to ease the installation on standard faucets. Thus, a regular faucet turns into an eyewash station without interrupting the normal faucet operation.

Once installed on a faucet, users need to open the tap and leave it on. The faucet mount eyewash station then sprays water at a preset temperature. The unit houses a valve to control the water flow. Since the faucet is left open, there is no need to use hands to turn on and off the eyewash unit. The water pressure function of the unit keeps the water running hands-free until the operation is complete.

Why are Faucet Mount Eyewash Stations Required?

Eye injuries can be severe enough to leave the victims permanently disabled in addition to extreme pains. The result is loss of workforce and legal liability for employers. Therefore, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates keeping an eyewash unit available to minimize such risks. Plus, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets the standards for the design and installation of eyewash stations.

According to the ANSI regulations, eyewash stations should be placed within 10-second walking distance, or 55 feet from where employees handle hazardous substances. Time is the top consideration in emergency cases, so a faucet mount eyewash station should be clearly visible and easily accessible with proper signage. Regular activation and testing are also necessary for compliance with the guidelines.
