Eyewash Distances

Q: We don’t handle any corrosive chemicals and only have an eyewash station as an emergency precaution when grinding and other tool use. What is the required distance?


A: OSHA only requires the eyewash station to be immediately adjacent when working with corrosive chemicals. In any other case it is recommended to have the eyewash station as close as possible.
