How to determine the location of an eye washer

The locations of the eye wash stations are determined during the installation phase; they are usually placed in relatively open areas within the facility, in spaces that are not in use.

The process only specifies medium parameters, etc., without mentioning specific locations.

According to the \"Regulations on Safety and Health Design for Chemical Enterprises\" HG 20571—95, 4.1.4 states that in work environments with toxic hazards, necessary health protection facilities such as eyewash stations and shower units must be installed, with a service radius of less than 15 meters. And in accordance with the characteristics of the tasks and the requirements for protection, accident cabinets, first-aid kits, and personal protective equipment should be provided. 4.6.5 In work areas where there is a risk of chemical burns, necessary safety measures such as eye wash stations and shower stations should be installed, and first-aid kits should be available in the facility area. The specific locations are usually placed at the sampling port and in areas that are frequently used.

Locate the piping, finalize it, draw the system diagram, and then pass it on to the process team. Draw a circle 15 meters in diameter to cover the area that needs to be rinsed.

\"China Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Engineering Construction Standards – General Design Requirements for Emergency Showers and Eyewash Stations\", SDEP-SPT-SH2003-2008 4.1 General Provisions 4.1.1 Principles for Installation Emergency showers and eyewash stations should be installed in areas where there is a risk of exposure to highly corrosive substances (such as strong acids and strong bases) and toxins that can be absorbed through the skin during the production process. 4.1.2 The location of the spray eye-washing facilities should be such that users can reach them smoothly within 10 seconds at a normal walking pace, and it should be no more than 15 meters away from the source of danger; there should be no obstacles in between on the same working surface. 4.1.3 Sufficient lighting should be ensured around the spray eye-washing facilities, and the lighting conditions shall meet the requirements of SH/T 3027. 4.1.4 An emergency first-aid sign should be installed at the top of the spray eye-washing facility; its contents should include, but are not limited to, text describing the function and purpose of this equipment ； Use graphics and illustrations to show the functions described in text. 4.1.5 An audible and visual alarm device should be installed at the top of or near the spray eye-washing facility, and the signal should preferably be sent to the control room. In our daily business, most of the cases we encounter are related to processes for which people seek advice on parameter selection. If the volume of work involved is small, a full package for water supply and drainage is usually provided.
