Frequently Asked Questions

What are portable eyewashes?

Portable eyewashes are used in locations having no access to potable water. These self-contained emergency eyewash units are suitable for applications that require eyewash access at multiple locations. They contain a reservoir of flushing fluid for a continuous 15-minute flow. Haws portable eyewashes come in two forms, gravity-fed eyewashes & air-pressurised eyewashes.

What are the points to be remembered while installing emergency shower & eyewash stations?

  • Shower & eyewash stations should be installed in a well-lit location, marked with a highly visible sign.
  • They must be located within 10 seconds travel time from the hazard-prone application and adjacent to hazards related to strong acids or caustics.
  • The path towards these stations must be free of any obstruction and on the same plane / level to prevent accidents & save time.
  • The units should start water / fluid supply within a short period after actuation. They should supply water having tepid temperatures ranging from 16 to 38 degrees C (60 to 100 degrees F).
  • These emergency equipment should be fully inspected periodically according to local safety standards & guidelines.

What steps should workers follow if they are exposed to hazardous chemicals?

  • In case of exposure to the eyes, use an eyewash station for a minimum of 15 minutes and flush away the chemicals / impurities from the eyes. Workers should keep their eyes wide open while rotating them in all directions for removing contaminants thoroughly.
