REGULATORY REQUIREMENT:

Cal-OSHA Title 8 of the General Industry Safety Orders (GISO) section 5162 requires that:

A- Plumbed or self-contained eyewash and/or shower equipment which meets the requirements of ANSI Z358.1-1981, shall be provided at all work areas where, during routine operations or foreseeable emergencies, the eyes or skin of an employee may come into contact with a substance which can cause corrosion, severe irritation or permanent tissue damage or which is toxic by absorption. Water hoses, sink faucets, or showers are not acceptable eyewash facilities.

B- Emergency eyewash facilities and deluge showers shall be in accessible locations that require no more than 10 seconds for the injured person to reach. If both an eyewash and shower are needed, they shall be located so that both can be used at the same time by one person. The area of the eyewash and shower equipment shall be maintained free of items which obstruct their use.

C- Maintenance. Plumbed eyewash and shower equipment shall be activated at least monthly to flush the line and to verify proper operation. Other units shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
