This OSHA eyewash station checklist assesses for compliance with critical safety regulations while protecting employees from potential eye injuries. It allows you to verify that eyewash stations are properly located, accessible, and functional. When an unexpected chemical splash occurs, having properly maintained eyewash stations can prevent serious health consequences.

OSHA emphasizes that improperly maintained eyewash stations may harbor organisms that can cause infections, potentially leading to permanent vision loss, especially in workers with eye injuries or compromised immune systems. Regular inspections using this checklist help you identify and address maintenance issues before they compromise safety.

How can I train employees to recognize eyewash station compliance issues?

Conduct brief training sessions showing employees what compliant stations look like. Review this checklist with them, explaining each item’s importance. Encourage them to report issues like obstructions or visible maintenance problems. Consider posting simplified visual guides near stations for quick reference.

What documentation should accompany this eyewash station checklist?

Include photographs of identified issues, maintenance work orders, repair receipts, and records of corrective actions. Also maintain training documentation showing employees know how to use eyewash stations properly. This comprehensive documentation demonstrates your commitment to maintaining compliant emergency equipment.

How can I adapt this checklist for different workplace environments?
