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.
