Location of eyewash stations in the tank area

The spray eyewash stations in the tank area are located within the fire dike. The standard for the location of eye wash stations is within 15 meters. If it exceeds 15m, it won’t work. It is best to be able to reach the eye wash station immediately after an accident occurs.

HGT20570.14-1995 \"Installation of Personal Protection Emergency Systems\" requires its installation. 1 Scope of Application and Installation Locations 1.0.1 The personal protection emergency systems in chemical plants and petrochemical plants include safety showers and eyewash stations, protective face shields, emergency oxygen breathing systems, specialized chemicals, and protection against mechanical injuries. These regulations cover only the installation of safety showers and eyewash stations. 1.0.2 In chemical processing facilities where chemicals that can cause burns to the human body (commonly known as corrosives), irritate and penetrate human skin (including mucous membranes and eyes), and are easily absorbed by skin tissue to damage internal organs and tissues (commonly known as toxic substances) are used, emergency measures for personal protection such as emergency spray nozzles for eye washing (*commonly referred to as safety spray nozzles for eye washing) must be installed. 1.0.3 Setting of locations and sites 1.0.3.1 The location where safety spray nozzles and eyewash stations are installed, as well as the distance from potential accident sites, depend on the toxicity, corrosiveness of the chemicals being used or produced, as well as their temperature; typically, the process itself determines the appropriate installation points and requirements. (1) Within areas where toxic and corrosive chemicals are generally produced and used, including near loading/unloading, storage, and analysis sampling points, a safety spray and eye wash station should be installed at a distance of 20–30 meters. (2) In areas where highly toxic, highly corrosive chemicals with temperatures above 70°C, as well as acidic and alkaline substances, are produced and used, including near loading/unloading, storage, and analysis sampling points, safety spray and eye wash stations must be installed. These stations should be located at a distance of 3m to 6m from the site where an accident might occur (the hazardous area), but not less than 3m away; they should also be placed away from the direction in which chemicals may be sprayed, so as to ensure their functionality in the event of an accident. 1.0.3.2 In chemical analysis laboratories, safety spray and eye wash stations should be installed in those areas where toxic and corrosive reagents are used frequently and where there is a risk of human injury. 1.0.3.3 Safety spray and eye wash stations should be installed near the battery charging room. 1.0.3.4 Safety spray eyewash stations should be installed in well-ventilated passages; in multi-story buildings, they are generally placed along the same axis or near the exits.

It seems not, but it’s better to be able to arrive immediately after an accident occurs; it is recommended to locate it inside the dike

Generally near the tank truck loading/unloading platform

It’s best to be able to reach it easily and quickly when needed

In my opinion, it should be installed at work locations where people frequently stay and carry out operations, or in areas where leaks are most likely to cause injuries; there’s no need to focus on whether it is outside or inside the tank area

Agreed. From the perspective of tank area management and leakage probability, the unloading pump area and the dip pipe are the areas with a higher risk of leakage. It is not necessarily inside or outside the fire dike of the tank area
