Eye Wash Stations and Drench Hoses  

Audit findings: Eyewash station/Drench Hose is not tested on a monthly basis 

Adverse consequence(s): Injury to the eye due to inability to rinse corrosive or toxic chemicals from the eye

Corrective action: Eyewash stations and drench hoses must be activated regularly to ensure that clear, fresh water is available. Laboratory staff must test the station monthly, and document compliance at or near the station. Several vendors provide pre-printed tags for this purpose.
