Eyewash fountains

Safety Showers. Safety showers and eyewash fountains or hoses should be installed where corrosive or toxic materials are handled. A large-volume, low velocity discharge from directly overhead should effect continuous drenching, ie, a minimum flow of 20 L/min (50 gal /min). Water to outside showers may be heated to a maximum temperature of 27°C by an electric heating cable. The valves for all safety showers should be at the same height and relative position to the shower head, and they should operate in the same way and direction. The shower station should be identified by paint of a bright, contrasting color. In areas where chemicals harmful to the eyes may be encountered, an eyewash fountain or spray should be available in case of splash accidents. 

Wear appropriate chemical cartridge respirator depending on the amount of exposure rescue personnel should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus have available and use as appropriate mbber suits, full-body chemical suits, safety shoes, safety shower, and eyewash fountain. 

It was found, when an attempt was made to conduct ship trials that the paint applier would be required to wear long sleeves, gloves, safety glasses, and a protective face shield. It is also a requirement that an eyewash fountain be nearby. These requirements were imposed because acrylates are skin, eye and respiratory tract irritants, but the problem lies mostly with the acrylated reactive diluent rather than with the acrylated resin (2,3). To avoid these problems, tests have been performed with use of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) as a replacement for TMPTA. TMPTMA has been shown to be much less of an irritant than TMPTA, and is used in dental restorations.

Keep the floor area around safety showers, eyewash fountains, and fire extinguishers clear of all obstructions. 

Instruct everyone in the lab on the proper use of the safety shower and eyewash fountain (see Corrosive materials above). Most portable eyewash devices cannot maintain the required flow for 15 minutes. A permanent eyewash fountain is preferred. 

Regularly check safety showers and eyewash fountains for proper rate of flow. Maintain a record of inspection. 

The laboratory should be equipped with a conveniently accessible safety shower and an eyewash fountain there should be more than one of each in a large laboratory. Increasingly, the fixed type of eyewash fountain is being superseded by a spray nozzle at the end of an extensible hose there should be one of these on each laboratory bench. In lieu of such devices—or in addition to them—2- or 3-ft lengths of rubber hose (not small-bore pressure tubing) attached with wire or clamps to water faucets are certainly better than nothing. 

Splashes in eyes should be dealt with as follows o Go to the eyewash fountain within 30 seconds, o Have someone else hold their eyelids open with thumb and forefinger and use the eyewash. 

Eyewash fountains Eyewash fountains (Figure 1.11) are provided for washing the eyes with copious amounts of water. Any clean water source can be used for washing the eyes. A 10-to 15-minute washing time is recommended. Eyewash fountains should be checked regularly for proper operation. 

Ensuring the presence and testing of safety showers, eyewash fountains, or other washing or flushing facilities.
