Portable eyewash stations operate according to a gravity-fed principle, that is, the rinsing fluid is contained in a tank. That type of emergency eyewash station is ideal for work environments which have no piping system to supply water. The advantage of having a portable eyewash station is that it can be installed anywhere near the hazardous workplace or agent. However, a portable emergency shower means a thorough maintenance because its tank may be the cluster of a bacterial proliferation. According to the ANSI standards, a portable eyewash station should deliver fluid to both eyes simultaneously at a volume of no less than 1.5 litres/minute (0.4 gallons/minute) for at least 15 minutes. The water in the tank must also be treated with antibacterial and antifungal agents to avoid any contamination or infection at a moment where the worker is at his most vulnerable.
