Details of Chemical Eye Wash

There are multiple types of eyewash stations to choose from, including:

1. Single or double way eye wash: Mounted on a lab worktop; may include sink or bowl or be installed alongside with an existing sink

2. Emergency eye wash station: That is free-standing on the floor, and includes small sink or bowl

3. Wall eyewash station: It is directly alongside to the wall; some include small sink or bowl, some did not

How does an eyewash work?

Laboratory eyewash provide a continuous flow of water through two spouts to flush a person’s eyes in an emergency. Distilled, purified, or tap water can be used. No special filters are necessary. The water used in an eyewash station is usually cold or room temperature. 

The pressure of the water used in an eyewash station must be high enough for the water to flow up into the eyes. However, there is no standard flow rate required. How the unit is built and installed will determine the water pressure.

How to use an eyewash station?

The instructions for how to use an emergency eyewash station will depend on the type of model you choose. Certain deck mounted eyewash stations include a mechanism that turns the station on when you swing the eyewash spouts over the existing sink. Stand-alone or wall mounted eyewash stations may turn on at the push of a button or when you remove protective caps from the spouts.

How long you should flush your eyes depends on the type of chemical or irritant you were exposed to. The ANSI standards recommend that all eyewash stations should be capable of providing at least 15 minutes of flushing. Keep in mind that using an eyewash station is a form of first aid; further medical attention is typically recommended after the emergency has passed to determine any lasting damage or additional treatment.
