[MCOH-EH] Eye Wash Station Placement

[Steven Parrent]

Our system is in the process of changing out a large portion of our eyewash stations. We do a risk assessment that looks at corrosives, hazardous chemicals, and formalin but not specifically BBP. Our first priority is locations where corrosives or hazardous chemical exposure may occur to comply with the OSHA standard. We do try and install eyewash stations at the request of mangers in areas where they are concerned with BBP exposure. It really comes down to best practice with BBP exposure unless you work in a HIV/HBV research lab and production facilities.

On a side note, make sure they are single action and not the sink mount.

Thanks-

Are any of you involved with where eye wash stations are installed?  If you are do you have them in areas with potential for BBP exposure or just in areas where there are corrosives or hazardous chemicals?
Thank you
