An eye is an essential part of workplace safety. Dear Evie, I'm a 46-year-old man and I keep having serious eye problems when I hurt them. Due to this it is important to provide your workers with an eye wash station to have on hand in the case of an emergency. An eye wash station provides a way to rinse the eyes out quickly if harmful material gets into them. Unfortunately, large eye wash stations can present an issue, as not all workplaces are large enough to accommodate them. This is where a compact eye wash station known as MERNUS comes into play.
As the MERNUS eye wash station is both compact and portable, it can easily be moved and stored in small work areas with limited space. You could set it on a shelf or mount it to the wall with the included bracket and screws that accompany the station. For this reason, it does not occupy much space, while still keeping ready to use when needed. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, this eye wash station is effective at a wide range of temperatures — from 33°F to 104°F (1°C to 40°C). The station can store 16 ounces (473 mL) of saline solution, a special type of salt water. The importance of this saline solution is that it serves to cleanse your eye from dirt, dust, and other debris that could hurt your eye.
The MERNUS eye wash station is small in size, yet it is well designed with safety in mind. It is constructed of high-quality, durable materials and meets American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. These organizations ensure the safety of eye wash stations for all individuals. The station includes a pull-down lever that dispenses the saline solution slowly. This gentle surfactant removal is crucial, as it allows the toxic material to be washed away without further damaging ocular papillary membranes.
The MERNUS eye wash station isn't just suitable for emergencies but an ideal first aid addition for small workplaces. The perfect tool to rinse out foreign objects such as dirt, dust, and chemicals from workers’ eyes before they go in and see a doctor. This little action can go a long way. Moreover, the station is great for people using contact lenses. The MERNUS eye wash station is able to rinse off a dirty or contaminated contact lens making it safe again to wear.
In emergency situations, speed is of the essence. A compact version of the MERNUS eye wash station affords workers the opportunity to respond quickly to any trouser-related emergency. They won’t have to run far to reach an eye wash station, which can be a time-saver. The station is positioned for ready access to provide immediate assistance by irrigating out potential toxins from the eyes. Taking this immediate action can help prevent further eye damage.
