Eye Wash Stations

Eye Wash Stations

BROEN-LAB eye wash stations are critical safety installations for laboratories and industrial environments where there is a risk of exposure to chemicals, particles or hazardous liquids.

An eye wash solution must deliver immediate and effective rinsing of the eyes and face in emergency situations. Our range of emergency eye wash stations is developed in accordance with EN 15154 and ANSI Z358.1, ensuring reliable performance when seconds matter.

Designed for Laboratory and Industrial Use

Eye wash units are typically installed in areas where corrosive, irritating or hazardous substances are handled on a daily basis.

Our eye wash solutions for laboratory and industrial environments are engineered to provide:

• Correct and controlled spray pattern
• Simultaneous bilateral eye rinsing
• Rapid activation
• Hands-free operation where required
• Hygienic, self-draining shower heads
• Compliance with international standards

Properly selected emergency eye wash unit reduce injury severity and support workplace compliance.

Types of Eye Wash solutions

BROEN-LAB offers eye wash units in multiple configurations to suit different installation requirements and workspace layouts:

• Wall-mounted
• Bench-mounted
• Freestanding
• Suspended
• Integrated emergency shower and eye wash stations

The appropriate configuration depends on hazard level, accessibility requirements and facility design.

When Is an Eye Wash Required?

Eye wash solutions are typically required where there is a risk of:

• Chemical splashes
• Corrosive exposure
• Dust or particle contamination
• Solvent handling
• Cleaning and sanitisation chemicals

Standards generally require that an emergency eye wash is located within immediate reach of the hazard area and provides continuous flow for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Eye Wash & Shower Station Alarms

In high-risk or regulated environments, eye wash & shower station alarms may be integrated to:

• Trigger visual or audible alerts
• Notify safety personnel
• Document activation events

Alarm integration supports internal safety protocols and regulatory compliance, particularly in pharmaceutical and industrial settings.

Choosing the correct eye wash requires a structured evaluation of your specific working environment.

Key considerations include:

1. What types of hazards are present in your facility or laboratory?
2. What is the potential scope of injury — limited eye exposure or broader facial contamination?
3. How many employees are potentially at risk?
4. Are there specific installation or environmental conditions that must be considered?

These factors determine the appropriate configuration and ensure both regulatory compliance and operational reliability.
