"Portable eyewash stations in the work place...do I need one"


We are moving very fast in the workplace to improve our quality of products and or services and to be promoted in the next successful step of our professional life. This intention is definitely fine, but in most cases we are not alert to sensitive physical issues like eye safety. Most companies are installing a vast security system like access control, electronic door supervision or so called close protection for our physical security, but very little time is spent thinking about the safety of our eyes.  After all, we all know that without the light of our eyes our life is totally different and full of darkness. So it is time to be informed about the proper safety of eyes.

Eyewash stations in the work place are very important so our eyes are protected in case of an emergency. We strongly recommend the use of safety glasses or welding goggles. 

By a recent survey it is identified that about 2000 plus people injure their eyes everyday in the workplace and 15% to 20% of those injured get a permanent loss.  This number can be reduced easily by using an eye protection and having a portable eyewash station.
