Ögonspolningsenheter

Ögonspolningsenheter are safety devices designed to flush contaminants from the eyes in case of exposure to hazardous materials. These units are commonly found in workplaces where chemicals or debris pose a risk to eye safety, such as laboratories, manufacturing plants, and construction sites. The primary purpose of an ögonspolningsenhet is to provide immediate and thorough irrigation of the eyes, helping to prevent or minimize potential injury.

Typically, an ögonspolningsenhet consists of a water reservoir or a connection to a water supply, and one or two nozzles that deliver a gentle but effective stream of water or a sterile eyewash solution. Activation is usually simple, often requiring a push of a button or a pull of a lever, ensuring quick access in an emergency. The water flow is designed to cover the entire eye surface without causing further irritation. Regular maintenance and testing are crucial to ensure the units are fully functional when needed. Standards and regulations often dictate the placement, accessibility, and performance of these essential safety items.
