Do the eye washes used by your company meet the latest standards and specifications?

On July 1, 2020, my country’s first national standard for eyewash devices GB/T 38144.1-2019 “Eye and Face Protection Emergency Spray and Eye Wash Equipment Part 1: Technical Requirements” and GB/T 38144.2-2019 “Eye and Face Protection Emergency Spray and Eyewash Equipment Part 2: Guidelines for Use” was officially promulgated. The terms and definitions involved in the standard will not be explained in detail here, and everyone is encouraged to read the standard by themselves. Today we focus on sharing several key technical requirements in the standard:

Emergency shower and eyewash equipment should be installed in an area within 10 seconds of the operator (generally, when people walk at a normal pace, they can walk an average of 15m in 10 seconds). The eyewash should be installed on the same plane in the potentially hazardous area, taking into account the avoidance of obstacles in the route to the device.

Rinse fluid temperature

The suitable temperature range for the flushing fluid at the water inlet of emergency shower and eyewash equipment is 16ºC to 38ºC. Flushing fluids with a temperature below 16ºC can immediately slow down the chemical reaction, but prolonged exposure to cold fluids can affect the body’s required body temperature and cause premature interruption of emergency treatment .

alarm system

The alarm device is suitable for some areas with few people or remote areas, and the relevant security department can be reported to the relevant security department for rescue in time

Maintenance and personnel training

It is recommended that emergency shower and eyewash equipment be inspected and maintained at least weekly and recorded.

If parts are found to be damaged during maintenance, they should be replaced in time. If necessary, it is recommended to replace the equipment.

For employees who may be exposed to hazardous materials, it is most important to ensure that they know the location and proper use of emergency shower and eyewash equipment. First aid training for employees before the equipment is installed and put into use is crucial, and should be conducted every six months thereafter
