This question is quite special: it relates to the technical aspect of whether the injured person ran or walked quickly to reach the eye-washing station

I have a technical question regarding eye washers that I would like to ask everyone, especially those whose factories already have eye washers installed. At the work site, when chemical substances splash into a person’s eyes, face, or other parts of the body, should the injured person run to the eyewash station or walk quickly to it? On this trip to a foreigner’s project in Sichuan, I specifically checked their safety regulations; those who are injured are only allowed to walk quickly to the eye wash stations, and running to those stations is strictly prohibited. One additional question: If personnel on site have their eyes exposed to chemicals, and if the injured person cannot see the road at all and thus cannot make it to the eyewash station, how can this technical problem be solved? Based on my experience at other sites and the setup of foreign-funded facilities, I recommend the following: 1. Portable eye-washing bottles should be provided at the work site; these bottles can also be carried by workers. With a capacity of around 500 ml, they can be used to rinse the eyes in case of an injury, followed by rinsing with large amounts of water using the fixed eye-washing stations. 2. A portable eye-washing device should be placed at the location of the fixed eye-washing stations. Its purpose is to allow for eye washing in cases where the water supply from the pipelines at the site is interrupted, thereby enabling use of the portable device as a backup. @tomtom999999 @Eagle 丶 @ zxz017 @GlueMover @WithoutRegrets @FishInTheDesert
The moderator’s question is about how to arrange eye wash stations more reasonably
No, did the injured person run to the eye washer or walk quickly to it?
I just revised the question wording a bit; is this clearer now?
I’ve really never encountered this; it seems that on construction sites abroad, running isn’t allowed – one is supposed to walk quickly instead
I work in the chemical industry, and as part of the on-site management requirements, it is not allowed to move around on site unless there is an emergency. Generally, eye washers are needed as a **temporary emergency measure when chemicals splash onto the operator. As for whether the injured person ran or walked over, there are different scenarios, including the location of the eye wash station.
It depends on the actual situation; if both eyes are splashed, there’s no way to run fast. . . Regarding body parts, the first step is usually to remove the contaminated clothing on the spot, followed by rinsing. In cases of safety incidents where chemicals splashed on employees twice, they would first take off their clothes and then run to the shower station to wash themselves. . Furthermore, the emergency spray system is quite close to the work site, about a 15m radius, right? So running and brisk walking don’t seem to be that urgent anymore. . There isn’t much difference in time. . :Lol, just my personal opinion. .
What exactly do you want to say? If you encountered this situation, would you run or walk fast?
At the work site, when chemical substances splash into a person’s eyes, face, or other parts of the body, should the injured person run to the eyewash station or walk quickly to it? Answer: Walk quickly to the eye washer to reduce the damage.
When we were discussing eye wash station technology, we also talked about this issue. According to the SEI safety officers, one should walk quickly toward the eye wash station, rather than running there
Regarding what you mentioned – as for whether the injured person ran or walked over, there are different scenarios, including the location of the eye wash station. ”Could you please explain it in more detail? Thank you, I need information on this topic
