Emergency Eye Wash and Eye / Face Wash units are vital, frontline safety devices to protect your staff, should an incident occur. The first 10-15 seconds after exposure to a hazardous substance are critical, and it is in that precise moment that an emergency Eye /Face Wash unit has to function perfectly, without fault.
To give you peace of mind and to maintain your duty of care, Ecospill provides a professional Eye / Face Wash Testing service. As this service we will inspect your equipment according to the national safety 38 point checklist, to ensure that it is in proper working order, and still operates within the AS4775-2007 minimum safety standards. It is mandated that this inspection test be conducted on all units every 12 months. It is designed that this thorough inspection will compliment your company's regular weekly/monthly self checks.
If your Eye Wash or Eye/Face Wash is a part of a combination shower, then you will need to look at our Shower Testing Service instead. Please advise our representative if that is the service your require.
At your Eye / Face Wash Testing Service our technician will:
- Check all components of the Eye / Face Wash units to see that they are in good working order
- Operate the Eye /Face Wash units to check flushing fluid operation
- Check that the dispersal pattern is to the minimum standard
- Measure the flow rate, temperature and accumulative water flow
- Conduct the 47 point compliance checklist on both shower and eye wash functions, and
- Upon completion, will tag the Eye Wash devices as either 'passed' or give recommendations to remedy units that do not pass the AS4775-2007 standard.
