How often should eye washes be activated to ensure a clean supply of water?

To ensure the eye wash stations maintain a clean and safe supply of water, they should be activated weekly. This regular activation helps clear any sediment, biofilm, or stagnant water that can accumulate in the plumbing and fixtures. By running the system once a week, it is possible to flush out contaminants and confirm that the eye wash is functioning correctly. This frequency is important because eye wash stations must be ready for immediate use in emergencies, where access to clean water can make a critical difference in reducing the effects of chemical exposure or eye injuries. Keeping eye wash stations in optimal condition through weekly checks and activations supports the safety protocols and compliance with health regulations.
