Frequently Asked Questions
Does OSHA require eyewash stations?
Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151(c) requires emergency eyewash where employees may be exposed to corrosive materials. ANSI Z358.1 specifies stations must be within 10 seconds of travel time.
Plumbed or portable β which do I need?
Plumbed for permanent locations with unlimited flush water. Portable for construction sites, field operations, and areas without plumbing. Many facilities use both.
Open bowl vs. closed bowl β what's the difference?
Open bowls allow faster activation. Closed bowls have a dust cover that keeps the bowl clean in outdoor or dusty environments β the cover opens automatically when activated.
Do I need freeze protection?
If your eyewash station is outdoors in a climate that drops below 32Β°F, yes. Choose 120V or 240V freeze-protected pedestal models for plumbed stations, or heated insulated jackets for portable units.
