Eye Wash Station

From North Forge
Revision as of 12:24, 2024 August 11 by John Hache (talk | contribs) (Instructions, incident report form link.)

Whatever is discussed in here likely also applies to Fire Extinguisher.

for all

Doug pointed out that we may not have good documentation on these, let's change that. Here is a start... 

This should contain instructions on how to use the eye wash stations. It should probably also include whom to notify, and a link to the incident form, since use of a wash station would warrant a form. Maybe the form is how we find out that they were used, too.

As much as that is internal info, I think it might also be good to add if we have spares on hand, and possibly where we get them.

We'll either need to find a way to link this to most rooms, or better yet, make it eye hazard dependent and link it that way... TT needs to think about this some more.

Rooms and locations listed for convenience, there's probably a better way to do this in terms of the Wiki. John has also taken photos of the locations in case that's helpful later.

North Forge supplies eye wash stations for use in case of eye irritation. If you use the eye wash station, please fill out an Incident Report Form.

Use

  1. Remove the lid
  2. If only one eye is affected, tilt your head so that the affected eye is lower. This prevents contaminants from being washed into the unaffected eye.
  3. Hold the bottle against your face over the eye and squeeze.
  4. While squeezing, move your eyeball around to access as much of the surface as possible.
  5. If necessary, also raise your eyelids using a finger to dislodge any contaminants under the eyeball.

Locations

Will update this in about half an hour.
