BD-550A - Installation & Maintenance Guide

PRODUCT CONCEPT

Emergency eye wash and shower units are designed to rinse contaminants from the user’s eyes, face or body. As such, these units are forms of first aid equipment to be used in the event of an accident. However, they are not a substitute for primary protective devices (including eye and face protection and protective clothing) or for safety procedures when handling hazardous materials.

The path of travel from the hazard to the equipment should be free of obstructions and as direct as possible.

The location of the emergency equipment must be marked with a highly visible sign.

TRAINING

Simply installing emergency equipment is not sufficient means of ensuring worker safety. It is also very important that employees are trained in the location and proper use of emergency equipment. Research shows that after an incident has occurred, rinsing eyes within the first ten seconds is essential.

Eye/face Wash

The sooner the injured employee’s eyes are rinsed, the lower the risk of damage. Every second is important when preventing permanent damage to save time for medical treatment.

All employees must be reminded that this equipment is only to be used in emergencies, tampering with the equipment may cause a malfunction.

Push the handle to spray the liquid.

When liquid sprays, put the injured employee’s left hand on the left nozzle, and the right hand on the right nozzle.

Put the injured employee’s head over the eye wash bowl which is hand controlled.

When rinsing the eyes, use both hands’ thumb and index finger to open the eyelids, rinsing for at least 15 minutes.

After rinsing, seek medical treatment immediately.

Security and supervisory personnel must be notified that the equipment has been used.

Shower

Use the pull rod to start the liquid flow.

The injured should stand in the water flow once it has started.

Ensure affected areas are in the water flow.

Do not rinse by hand, to avoid further injury.

Special Note

1. Not anti-freeze eye wash, Using temperature must be beyond 0℃.

2. If chemicals which react dangerously with water are present, an alternative harmless liquid will be provided. Special eye drops should also be used.
