GENERAL INFORMATION & GUIDELINES

Emergency eye wash stations are designed to deliver water to rinse chemical substances from a
person’s eyes, face or body.

WARNING: Eye wash stations are NOT to be used as substitutes for primary protective

equipment (such as gloves, masks, eye protection, and protective clothing) when handling

dangerous substances. Simply installing these stations is not sufcient to assure worker

safety. Staff must be trained in the use, maintenance, and knowledge of the eye wash
station. A response plan and action should be in place in the event that an accident does
occur and employees have guidelines to follow for injured personnel.

Below are guidelines that should be followed in accordance with the eye wash station when
applicable. Note OSHA regulations, accessibility & surroundings, and water connections
before assembling and installing the eye wash combo station. There are certain
circumstances where these guidelines may not be adequate.

LOCATION OF EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT

• Per ANSI Specications, emergency equipment must be installed on the same level as the
possible incident (e.g. stairs/ramps must not be required to use the unit).

• It is advised that emergency equipment be installed within 10 seconds (approx. 55 feet) of
walking time/distance from the location of the possible incident.

WATER TEMPERATURE

• Water temperature should be between 60°F(15.5°C) – 100°F(37.8°C). This can vary depend­ing on the chemical substance and should be consulted with a safety counselor.

SHUT OFF VALVES

• These stationary eye wash units are designed to be connected to a clean and viable water
supply line.

• A shut off valve on the water line is advised to easily maintain/repair the station.

• If a shut off valve is installed, make sure necessary procedures are established to prevent
misuse of the valve. Only authorized personal should be installing/maintaining the shut off
valve.

CORROSION & RUST RESISTANCE

• All parts of the system must be constructed of materials that will not corrode.

FREEZING CONDITIONS

• Emergency equipment that must be installed in potential freezing conditions should
be installed with the proper equipment to protect against freezing per ANSI Z358.1
Section 4.5.5, 5.4.5.

• Freeze resistant equipment includes but is not limited to:

1. Temperature actuated bleed valve that permits water to ow through the unit when the
temperature drops below freezing.

2. Remote-activated valves or electrically heated units/heated
enclosures.

2

DISPOSAL OF WATER

• Waste water must be treated with care to avoid creating any hazards. It is highly
recommended that emergency shower stations should be connected to drain piping or

ood drains. Depending on the chemical substances, drainage into an acid waste

disposal system may be recommended.

NOTE: Prior to rst use after installation, use ANSI checklist on page 11 to make sure unit

is compliant and assembled/installed correctly.
