Rosie's answer

Published by SALUS

Eyewash stations are an important engineering control to have in the workplace [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. They provide a means for workers to flush contaminants from their eyes in the event of an exposure [6], [7], [8]. Some key considerations for eyewash stations include:

  • Accessibility: Eyewash stations should be readily accessible in areas where there is a potential for eye exposure to hazardous materials [4], [5], [9].
  • Proximity: Eyewash stations should be located close to workstations [10], [11], [12].
  • Usage: Hold eyelids open and wash with a gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes [6], [7].
  • Maintenance: Ensure that eyewash stations are well-maintained and in proper working order.
  • Hygiene: Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling chemical products [10], [11], [12].
  • Eye Protection: Wear approved eye protection, such as chemical safety goggles and face shields, when there is a risk of exposure [4], [5], [9].

Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. ## Eye/face protection Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with sideshields. ## Skin protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, cons…
