Description
Things to consider when choosing personal eye wash:
• What types of materials are on site that could enter the eye?
Saline which mimics human tears or water are the most common products used to flush the eyes and
work well for particulate
debris (i.e. dust, dirt, metal fragments, wood chips etc.) When corrosive acids or alkalis are involved, time
is of the essence.
While water and saline will dilute an acid or alkali, a pH Neutralizing solution can quickly neutralize the
substance and return the
eye to its normal pH value of 7.4.
• Where are workers located? What is the work environment?
Are workers in a fixed area, moving between work areas or facilities, or outdoors? Personal Eye Wash
products can be placed
right where accidents are most likely to occur. Choose from wall mounting units or individual bottles and
belt bags that mobile
workers can conveniently keep with them at all times. For areas of high traffic or dust, Plum Covered
