Emergency Eyewash Stations - Do I need to provide them?

Emergency eye wash stations must be situated in working environments were employees may be exposed to harmful chemicals. Accidents do happen, and immediate access to emergency eye wash stations at time of exposure is critical in preventing eye injury. Eye wash stations are designed to immediately flush contaminants out of the eyes after exposure. Emergency Eyewash station should be located in high-risk areas, no more than 25 feet (10 seconds) from areas where acids or other corrosive materials are in use. This advice is enforced by OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.151:

Paragraph (c) of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.151
"Where the eyes or body of any person may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials, suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided within the work area for immediate emergency use".

The OSHA standard does not set specifications for emergency eyewash and shower equipment, but OSHA agree that equipment that complies with ANSI requirements would usually meet the intent of the OSHA standard.
