OSHA does not specify where either an eyewash or shower is needed in a facility. Rather, the standard requires that, “where the eyes or body of any person may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials, suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided within the work area for immediate emergency use.” Essentially, OSHA expects an employer to determine the level of potential risk to employees and provide the necessary protection accordingly. What protection is appropriate should be based on a hazard assessment and the recommendations outlined in ANSI standard Z358.1-2014.
