SAFETY SHOWER & EYE WASH The operation of the Safety Shower/Eye Wash assembly is very simple. However, when the need arises for using this assembly, unless you have studied its components and learned precisely how they function, you will be unable to help yourself. Today I am asking the supervisors and the foremen to review the Safety/Emergency Eye Wash Station and the procedure of using it with their crew. Everyone should also generally locate the Shower/Eye Wash Stations around the Plant especially when working in the chemical areas. The arrangement consists of a shower head, actuated by a pull arm; and Eye Wash which automatically opens when somebody steps on the platform provided. Should you get chemicals in your eyes go to the nearest eyewash station, turn on the eye wash and wash your eyes for at least 15 minutes. Keep your eyelids open using your fingers to make sure that the chemicals that enter your eyes are washed off. Get help and go to the clinic or the doctor for prompt medical attention. Should you get chemicals on your body, go to the nearest shower station and activate the shower. Remove the contaminated clothing immediately and continue washing the affected areas for at least 15 minutes. Replace your clothing. Go to a doctor for proper medical treatment. Each days as you go to your job, locate the nearest shower station so you will not have to search for one if the need arises. Remember, in the event that you should get chemical in your eyes, your vision will almost certainly be impaired, and your ability to find the shower station will be severely affected. Be prepared for what might happen. It may very well save your eyesight.
