Emergency Eyewash
Emergency showers and eyewash stations provide on-the-spot decontamination. They allow workers to flush away hazardous substances that can cause injury. Accidental chemical exposures can still occur even with good engineering controls and safety precautions.
How to Use an Eyewash Station in an Emergency
In an emergency scenario, an eyewash station can save your sight – if it’s properly used. Such accidents are fortunately very rare, but it’s paramount that you and your colleagues are prepared should the worst happen. Read on to find out how to use an emergency eye wash unit the right way
What Does Emergency Shower Mean?
An emergency shower is used as a form of emergency first aid aimed at limiting the effects of accidental exposure to harmful materials. In any workplace where workers may be exposed to harmful materials, such as corrosive chemicals, employers must install an emergency shower.
While OSHA regulations specify which industries should install emergency showers and eyewash facilities, and specifies that sufficient flushing fluid should be available, the technical requirements for emergency showers are not specified.
Emergency Shower
In chemical accidents, a quick response is necessary to mitigate the risk of permanent damage. A few seconds delay is sufficient to exacerbate injuries. An emergency shower, then, should be situated so that workers can make rapid use of the facility in the event of a spill (within approximately 55 feet of the chemical hazard).
A sufficient supply of clean water should be available, since flushing times needed may vary from 5 to 20 minutes depending on how corrosive the chemicals are.
Workers should be trained in the proper response to accidents involving corrosives, and the emergency shower should not be used as an eyewash station.
An emergency eyewash and safety shower and eye wash station are essential equipment for every laboratory that uses chemicals and hazardous substances. Emergency eyewash and safety shower stations serve the purpose of reducing workplace injury and keeping workers away from various dangers. Wikipedia.
