Eye Wash Stations

Providing an eye wash station for employees is essential if there’s any risk of eyes being exposed to harmful materials. This could be anything from dust, wood chips and flying debris to corrosive chemicals – an eye wash kit should always be easy to access in the event of an emergency.

A thorough risk assessment should be carried out to identify where your eye wash stations should be placed, as well as how many are needed. They are a vital part of any first aid kit in a wide range of industries from construction and agriculture to warehouse, kitchen or laboratory work.

Eye Wash Kits

The main purpose of an eye wash kit is to provide an instant eye bath for anyone suffering from an eye injury or irritation. This eye wash process usually involves using a sterile saline solution or clean water as a flushing fluid to cleanse the eye.

An eye wash first aid station should also include other accessories to help with the eye bath – this could include eye wash pods, eye pads and mirrors. You can also wall-mount your eye wash station for even greater convenience.
