Inspection Details

Location, Access, and Coverage

Verify the station is located where solvent, adhesive, coating, or other chemical splash exposure can occur and is not relying only on a distant general plant station.
Confirm a clear path to the station with no stored materials, carts, pallets, hoses, or equipment blocking access.
The eyewash should be easy to identify from the normal work position or along the expected travel path.
Check for overspray residue, chemical spills, standing water, or debris that could delay access or create a secondary hazard.
Eyewash access should not depend on keys, badges, or opening a door that could slow emergency response.

Signage and Identification

Signage should identify the eyewash station clearly from the approach path and work area.
Verify the sign can be read easily and is not blocked by product, tools, or temporary postings.
Confirm the station is identified as serving the coating or chemical-handling area rather than a generic plant location only.

Station Condition and Flushing Readiness

Inspect for contamination, corrosion, damage, missing caps, or buildup that could affect use.
The station should start flow promptly and remain on without requiring continuous hand pressure if designed for hands-free operation.
Verify the flow pattern is even, gentle, and capable of flushing both eyes at the same time.
Check for rust, sediment, discoloration, odor, or other contamination during activation.
Confirm the unit continues to function normally after activation and does not leak, sputter excessively, or fail to shut off properly.

Documentation, Training, and Corrective Actions

Verify the inspection record includes date, time, inspector, findings, and any deficiencies.
Confirm workers can identify the station and understand the need to flush eyes promptly and seek medical attention after exposure.
Record the non-conformance, corrective action, responsible person, and target completion date for any failed item.
If the station is not functional, it should be identified immediately and escalated for repair or replacement.
