Q

Avoid placing the signs at the entrance of a space or shop if only selected areas of the shop, while
equipment is in operation, are eye hazardous.

A

All eye and face protection including safety glasses
(frames), ballistic eye protection devices, chemical splash goggles, welding and chipping goggles, welding helmets, and face
shields shall be labeled “Z87” or “Z87+”, indicating compliance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard ANSIZ87.

Q

EMERGENCY EYEWASH and DELUGE SHOWER FACILITIES

Emergency eyewashes or eye/face baths are primary first aid for splashes or exposures to corrosive materials.

A

Corrosives may cause severe and progressive damage to the eyes and skin, so immediate, on-site means of washing them from the eyes and skin is vital.

Q

According to reference B5-1,
approved emergency eyewash equipment (permanent plumbed or
portable) shall:
(1) Be capable of flushing the eyes with potable water
at a minimum flow rate of 0.4 gallons per minute for 15
continuous minutes.

A

According to reference B5-1,
approved emergency eyewash equipment (permanent plumbed or
portable) shall: be on the same level, unobstructed and
easily accessible within 100 feet or 10 second travel of the
identified eye hazard. For a strong acid or strong caustic, the eyewash shall be immediately adjacent to the hazard.

Q

The unit shall be positioned with the eyewash
nozzle(s) not less than 33 inches or more than 45 inches above the deck, and six inches minimum from the nearest wall or obstruction.

A

Eyewash nozzles shall be protected from airborne
contaminants and debris. Whatever means is used to afford such protection (plastic caps, cups, cover) its removal shall not
require a separate motion by the operator when activating the unit.

16
Q

The eyewash shall deliver tepid flushing water
(60-100 degrees Fahrenheit). Temperatures in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit have proven harmful to the eyes and can enhance chemical interaction with the eyes and skin.

A

All emergency eyewash and shower equipment must

be maintained through the planned maintenance system (PMS)

17
Q

Clearly mark eyewash stations with a green sign

with white lettering stating “EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATION.” Post signs in a visible location close to the eyewash unit.

A

TRAINING
The division officer or work-center supervisor shall perform training for personnel assigned to work-centers with eye hazard areas/processes at the time that protective eyewear is issued.

18
Q

NOTE:
No attempt should be made to remove a particle lodged
in the eyeball, or wash an eye that has been cut in any
way. Contact the medical department immediately.

A

Remotely Located Eyewash Facilities. Permanently
plumbed emergency showers, eyewashes, and eye/face washes located in remote locations or minimally manned areas shall be provided with an audible alarm interlocking with the activation device of the unit.

19
Q

The alarm is intended to alert personnel in a manned area that someone is using an eyewash facility in a remote area and may not have anyone in the immediate vicinity to render aid.

A

The alarm shall be located in one of the following appropriate areas: outside the protected area or shop, in the
associated enclosed operating station (EOS), in a nearby manned space, or in damage control central.
