How to maintain eye wash
The consequences of long-term maintenance of the eye wash are serious. The eye wash must be started every week to visually check the water source problem. The following is one of the companies that have not been maintained by the work unit and was found by the Safety Production Bureau at the time of inspection. This problem is On the issue of water sources, the local chemical plant reservoirs are not managed to cause yellow muddy water, but this problem can be solved by removing the reservoir. However, if the injured person urgently starts these eyewashes and there is such a water source problem, the injured person will be injured twice and the condition will be more serious! Enterprises must pay attention to the problem!
1. Eyewash equipment should be started at least once a week to see if it can operate normally, which can reduce the chance of sediment accumulation in the stagnant water supply pipeline and the possibility of microbial damage growth. For eyewashes that can be moved, it is necessary to arrange for a person to check whether the reserved water source is sufficient every day. At the same time, it is recommended that the reserve water source be replaced once a day to ensure water quality. An annual inspection of the eyewash device is required every year to see if the device is in good condition.
2. For operators who are exposed to hazardous work environments for a long time, equipment suppliers should provide more technical guidance and proper use of eyewash and shower equipment. The operator must be familiar with the location of the emergency equipment, especially if the emergency equipment or layout changes. Workers should be retrained on a regular basis to remind employees that emergency equipment settings do not replace the use of basic personal protective equipment such as protective glasses, face masks, protective gloves, and chemical protective clothing. Manufacturers should provide appropriate technical training for the maintenance and overhaul of eye wash and shower equipment.
But many components have been affected, see the picture below:
The filter that needs to be affected by the water source needs to clean the eye filter head. After 24 hours of water exchange, return to the scene again, see the following picture:
Therefore, establish eyewash operation and maintenance procedures, instruct employees to master the operation and maintenance methods of the eye washer, and ensure that they are in standby state at any time to meet emergency requirements.
