Eye wash stations are essential to getting hazardous debris and chemicals out of people’s eyes when things go terribly wrong.  These emergency fixtures will immediately deliver a stream of water to the eyeball to get the dangerous substance safely out of the eye socket.

No matter what their design, every eye wash station has to strictly comply with a number of safety codes, including ANSI z358.1-2004 and OSHA codes.

Workers also have to be able to easily find them even when they have some hazardous material in their eyes.  Because of this, fixtures have to be tested and tagged like fire extinguishers so everyone can find them quickly.

All sorts of companies and organizations use eye wash stations.  Factories use them to protect workers from dust in the air and chemicals that can get splashed in the eye.   Chemical plants use them to wash out fluids and also strong fumes that can also burn eyes.   Labs will use them to sanitize eyes that have been exposed to experimental materials.

Also, you will see hospitals using eyewash fountains to clean out eyes from fluids or hazardous chemicals that are related to patient care.  Dentists often use them too because tooth debris can pose a hazard to eyes.

You can choose from a wide range of designs.  Some of these designs are as follows:

Wall Mount

Wall mounted stations look like sinks and spray the water stream up.  They are activated by easy-to-reach side handles.

Pedestal

Pedestal mounted stations are great for small spaces.

Cabinet Mount

This type of eye wash station sits in a recessed cabinet wall cabinet that conserves space in tight quarters.

Swing Down

The swing down is a special type of cabinet mount design where the spray mounts stand vertically upright inside the cabinet and are activated when you pull them down.

Drench Showers

You stand under these units like showers.  They are ideal for places where you cannot place a wall or cabinet mounted unit.

Lab Eye Wash Stations

Many lab stations are actually mounted directly to standard and gooseneck faucets.  The unit diverts the faucet to the station heads when the unit is activated.

Portable Eyewashes

These are great for workers on the move.

Wall mount stations are also made in barrier free designs.  Barrier free means that the unit has been engineered with ADA compliant features, which include a minimum of 30 PSI water pressure.
