Personal Eyewashes are supplementary eyewash that supports plumbed units, gravity-feed units, or both by delivering immediate flushing fluid.
Personal eye wash units can provide immediate flushing when they are located near the workstations. Personal eye wash equipment does not meet the requirements of plumbed or gravity-feed eye wash equipment. Personal eye wash units can support plumbed or gravity-feed eye wash units, but cannot be a substitute.
Bottles of unopened solution from the supplier usually have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
All portable eye wash stations that are obsolete or no longer needed must be removed from service.
