Using an eyewash station is considered a first-aid measure. Be sure to do a hazard assessment to determine the hazards associated with chemicals in your workplace and how the eyewash station will be used in an emergency.

Weekly eyewash inspection checklist Check that nozzle caps are present to prevent contamination. Check that the nozzles, nozzle caps, and the bowl or sink are in a clean and sanitary condition. Activate all eyewashes to make sure they are operational. Verify that the nozzle caps come off when the eyewash is activated.

Safety shower flow rates must meet the need for sufficient flow of water to flush the affected area completely. Showers require a minimum supply of 20 gallons per minute for at least 15 minutes. Eye washes (including self-contained models) require a minimum flow rate of 0.4 gallons per minute.

This equipment is considered a first aid measure rather than a preventative one. Proper exposure control methods, including eye protection and other PPE are always required to minimize exposure to hazardous chemicals.
