What are the types of Eyewash available in Labs?
(A) If there is access to plumbing, as is the case with most laboratories, then eyewash should be connected permanently to the potable water source. In case there is no plumbing then gravity-feed eyewashes than can provide a continuous supply from a self-contained tank for around 15 minutes could be used. Personal self-contained eye wash bottles are also a good option in providing a prompt flushing at workstations. An important point to be kept in mind is that these wash bottles can at the most be a support to the plumbed or gravity-feed eye wash units and never thought of as a substitute.
