Welcome to our Regulatory Compliance page, which discusses the important specifications outlined in ANSI Z358.1-2014 for eyewash and safety shower equipment. The safety of our workplace depends on following these rules.
The following essential requirements must be met:?
1. Accessibility: Safety stations must be within 10 seconds of possible threats and 55 feet away from them.
2. Stations must be situated such that they are level with any possible threats and without any obstacles in their way.
3. properly Marked Equipment: To make it simple to identify emergency equipment, it should be properly marked and well-lit.
4. Education: All employees who work with hazardous products should get instructions on where to find and how to use emergency supplies.
5. Functionality: Concurrent operation of combination units should enable simultaneous usage of all components by a single user.
6. Fluid temperature: Warm flushing fluid should be distributed via safety stations.
7. Showerhead Height: The height of the showerhead should be between 82 and 96 inches above the user's floor.
8. Flow Rate: Showers should have a minimum flow rate of 20 gallons per minute and a water column that is 20 inches broad and 60 inches tall.

9. Hands-free Operation: Flushing should proceed automatically. Valve operation should be simple and take less than a second.
10. Eye/Face Wash: Must simultaneously and safely provide a controlled flow to both eyes.
11. Requirements for Flow Rate: Eye/face wash equipment must produce at least 3 gallons of water per minute for 15 minutes, whereas eyewash must provide at least 0.4 gallons of water per minute for 15 minutes.
12. Protection from Contaminants: Airborne pollutants should be kept away from outlets.
13. Flushing Flow: Less than 8 inches above the nozzle, the area between the gauge's inner and outer lines should be filled with an eyewash/eye-face wash's flushing liquid.
14. Location of the Flushing Fluid Flow Pattern: The flushing fluid flow pattern should be between 33 and 53 inches above the user's floor and at least 6 inches away from a wall.
15. Hands-free functionality: Flushing flow should continue automatically, with simple-to-operate valves switching from "off" to "on" in less than a second.

1. Your water management strategy should include a weekly equipment activation schedule. This duty might be delegated to end users, preparing them for any situation.
2. Compliance with OSHA regulations: Please see OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.151(c), which requires emergency eyewash and shower facilities when exposure to caustic chemicals may occur. Safety data sheets and risk evaluations may help you determine if maintaining certain equipment is required.
We can maintain a workplace that is safe and compliant by following these guidelines and regulations. Do not hesitate to contact our safety officer if you have any queries or want further direction.
