One of the most common industrial accidents is a member of staff getting a foreign body or splash of liquid in their eye during a workplace process. While this kind of incident is entirely avoidable under most circumstances, accidents do happen, and it is in responding to these events that preparation is most important. The quicker a person who is distressed by having a chemical or object in their eye is treated, the more likely they are to make a complete recovery, and with this in mind, providing the means for all staff to cope with such an eventuality is absolutely essential. While it is always important to have the equipment to rinse an eye mounted throughout the workplace, having a portable eye wash station available as well ensures that staff who have accidents can be treated quickly and effectively with a minimum of fuss.

A portable eye wash station can be moved to any point in the workplace quickly to ensure that whoever has had the accident can be treated as fast as possible to ensure that the minimum of fuss and pain. The unit is also ideal for use in an environment where it is not practical to install a fixed and plumbed in system, perhaps a low traffic area of the facility, or other place where installing a fixed station would not be cost effective.

An eye wash station is used in order to rinse any contaminant out of an eye where it could be causing pain or damage. The most important thing when choosing the right portable eye wash station is to ensure that it provides the proper protection for staff, and allows you to get the most effective relief for anyone who has been injured.

The key to providing the best possible relief to anyone who needs to have their eyes rinsed to remove a contaminant is to provide a constant supply of water at relatively low pressure. It is also important to avoid moving the person if possible, as this can sometimes aggravate the condition. With a high quality portable eye wash station, you will be able to give a person who has been injured the relief that they need.

A variety of different portable eye wash stations are available. They offer different capacities and have slightly different means of delivering the water to flush out an eye. In order to ensure the most positive effect from the treatment, a number of different factors should be included.

Many portable eye wash stations have a built in water heater to provide water at a more comfortable temperature. This is done to make sure that the person who is being treated is not shocked by cold water, which would cause them to react by shutting their eyes. By using warmed water, the eye will be less likely to close, meaning that the treatment to the injured party will be much more effective quickly.

Choosing the right portable eye wash station for your personal needs is simple thanks to the range of high quality products available from Red Hill Supply. One of the leading manufacturers is Guardian Equipment, who are known for the quality of their products.
