The Proper Placement of Eyewash Stations

The Proper Placement of Eyewash Stations

Eyewash stations are crucial safety equipment used to rapidly minimize harm when toxic or hazardous materials, such as chemical liquids, splash onto a worker’s body, face, or eyes, or in the event of a fire causing workers’ clothing to catch fire. Many production sites are equipped with eyewash stations, but are they being used correctly?

What types of eyewash products are available? They can be categorized based on their functional uses:

• Plumbed Eyewash Stations: These have both a shower system and an eyewash system installed directly on the ground.
• Freestanding Eyewash Stations: These have an eyewash system but no shower system, installed directly on the ground.
• Wall-Mounted Eyewash Stations: These have an eyewash system but no shower system, installed directly on the wall.
• Tabletop Eyewash Stations: These have an eyewash system but no shower system, installed directly on the work surface.
• Showerheads: These have a shower system but no eyewash system, installed directly on the ground.
• Shower Units: These have a shower system but no eyewash system, installed directly on walls or ceilings.
• High-Performance Corrosion-Resistant Eyewash Stations: Suitable for use in environments with any chemical substances.
• Above-Ground, Automatic-Drain, Freeze-Protected Eyewash Stations: The water inlet is positioned above ground, with freeze protection devices installed internally in the eyewash station’s pipes to automatically drain the water.
• Sub-Surface, Automatic-Drain, Freeze-Protected Eyewash Stations: Both the water inlet and freeze protection devices are installed below the frost line, automatically draining the water from the eyewash station.
• Electric Trace-Heated Eyewash Stations: Using automatic control electric trace heating to keep the water in the eyewash station’s pipes warm and prevent freezing, but these stations do not provide heated water for eyewashing.
• Electrically Heated Eyewash Stations: Using electric heating to effectively raise the temperature of the water used for eyewashing.
• Portable Eyewash Stations: Suitable for areas without a fixed water source or where the work environment frequently changes, these can be either standard portable eyewash stations or pressure-type portable eyewash stations.
