Eyewashes and Safety Showers
This lesson teaches you how to locate and use eyewash stations and safety showers in the event of chemical or highly irritating material exposure. However, if the chemical contains Hydrofluoric Acid these instructions are not correct. Please watch our Hydrofluoric Acid Safety Training – Online course.
Be sure you take the chemical SDS or SOP with you to eliminate confusion about what the hazardous chemical or material contains when you go to the health care provider.
