Frequently Asked Questions
What is an emergency eye wash?
An emergency eyewash is a safety device that provides immediate water flow to flush contaminants from eyes during chemical exposure or injury. Professional stations like the Azzota EW-8837-PT (ABS Plastic) and Azzota EW-8837-SA (Stainless Steel) ensure rapid emergency response.
What are the requirements for an emergency eyewash solution?
Emergency eyewash solutions must provide potable water at specified flow rates, be easily accessible within 10 seconds, and operate hands-free for 15 minutes minimum. Compliant units like the KC2R Double Eyewash Station meet ANSI safety standards.
What to use instead of eye wash?
While emergency eyewash stations are preferred, clean potable water can be used temporarily until professional treatment is available.
