What is the Importance of Emergency Eyewash Stations and Showers?
Emergency Eyewash Stations and showers are critical safety devices in histology laboratories. In the event of a chemical spill or splash, immediate access to these stations allows for rapid decontamination, reducing the risk of serious injury. Eyewash stations should provide a continuous flow of water to flush out contaminants from the eyes, while emergency showers should be used to rinse off chemicals from the body. Regular training and drills on the use of these stations ensure that personnel can respond quickly in an emergency.
