Abstract

The disclosure relates to an eye wash station in which a basin housing (12) has an eye wash feed tank (14) above it and a liquid collection tank (16) below it all formed in polyethylene and mounted on runners (18). The basin is supported on a vertical base member (22) on said runners to pivot between an un-activated upright position and a horizontal operative position and spray nozzles (28a) on the basin connected to the feed tank to provide an upwardly directed eye wash spray when the basin is horizontal. Eye wash collecting in the basin is delivered through an outlet (40) to an aligned inlet (16a) in the collection tank. The arrangement is particularly suitable for use as an emergency eye wash station for use by workers in flushing harmful material from their eyes.
