[Histonet] Eyewash Requirements
Laurie- Our safety office also states 3 minutes for eyewash - we test and document weekly. We test our shower spring and fall for time and amount (50 liters in 1 minute) Nancy -- Message: 14 Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:24:47 -0700 From: lau...@blufrogpath.com Subject: [Histonet] Eyewash Requirements To: Histonet post histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Message-ID: 20120703122447.295dc6182df7e5cbb4f32bc101c30dcc.e345099a2e@email15.secureserver.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 What is the time requirement for flushing the eyewash?

RE: [Histonet] Eyewash Requirements
We have to test the eyewash weekly and let it run for at least 30 seconds. The shower is tested by the university's safety people I think just once a year.

RE: [Histonet] Eyewash Requirements
We run/test weekly both the safety shower and eyewash. (I have seen where you need to do a weekly assessment and then a monthy test, we just decided to do it weekly that way we know that the water has not been the pipes for a long time). We leave the eyewash on for about 5 minutes, its easy to do that since it drains, but the safety shower we collect in a 5 gallon bucket and that fills up in really quickly, so about 30 seconds, I'm not sure there is a testing system that could hold 3 minutes of water from the shower unless you are running into a large garbage can. You also need to test the temp of the water it should not exceed 100 degrees F. We also fill out a safety shower/eyewash program assessment yearly. Liz Elizabeth A.
