To make your workplace which may represent a risk to your face safety even safer, you may choose to install an eye wash station or an eye/face wash station to be used in case of emergency. Eyewash stations should be designed to deliver fluid to both eyes simultaneously at a volume of no less than 1.5 litres/minute (0.4 gallons/minute) for 15 minutes. Eye/face wash station, on the other hand, should deliver 11.25 litres/minute (3 gallons/minute) for 15 minutes. However, the volume should not be at a velocity which may injure the eyes; this is why the delivery flow should not exceed 30 PSI. The unit should be between 83.8 and 134.6 cm (33 to 53 inches) from the floor, and a minimum of 15.3 cm (6 inches) from the wall or nearest obstruction.
Many options are available, thus the selection of an emergency shower should be done according to the work environment:
- Economic eyewash for faucets (PD518 and PD19200B)
- Eyepod eyewash for faucets (PD7620)
- Wall-mounted wash station (PD19224PDC)
- Pedestal-mounted wash station (PD19214FW)
- Foot-activated wash stations (PD19214YF)
- Stainless steel wash stations (PD19224DCPT)
- Plastic wash stations (PD19224PDCFW)
- Wash stations with dust covers (PD19214PDC)
- Shower for laboratory counter (PD19270E and PD19270C)
