Personal eye Wash in the Workplace

As basic first aid equipment for any work environment and a practical supplement when fixed eye wash stations are required, Personal Eye Wash products offer an inexpensive solution that can be utilized to enhance your emergency preparedness, and improve critical response time when debris or chemicals enter the eye.

     

Things to consider when choosing personal eye wash:

  • What types of materials are on site that could enter the eye?
  • Saline which mimics human tears or water are the most common products used to flush the eyes and work well for particulate debris (i.e. dust, dirt, metal fragments, wood chips etc.) When corrosive acids or alkalis are involved, time is of the essence. While water and saline will dilute an acid or alkali, a pH Neutralizing solution can quickly neutralize the substance and return the eye to its normal pH value of4. Learn more about Plum pH Neutralizer.

 

  • Where are workers located? what is the work environment?
  • Are workers in a fixed area, moving between work areas or facilities, or outdoors? Personal Eye Wash products can be placed right where accidents are most likely to occur. Choose from wall mounting units or individual bottles and belt bags that mobile workers can conveniently keep with them at all times. For areas of high traffic or dust, Plum Covered Stations help keep supplies clean.
