Eyewash fountains should be provided in areas where there is
any possibility that workers could be exposed to the substances;
this is irrespective of the recommendation involving the wearing

Facilities for quickly drenching the body should be provided
within the immediate work area for emergency use where there is
a possibility of exposure. [Note: It is intended that these facilities
provide a sufficient quantity or flow of water to quickly remove
the substance from any body areas likely to be exposed. The actual
determination of what constitutes an adequate quick drench facility
depends on the specific circumstances. In certain instances, a
deluge shower should be readily available, whereas in others, the
availability of water from a sink or hose could be considered adequate.] |
| Provide: Frostbite wash |
Quick drench facilities and/or eyewash fountains should be provided
within the immediate work area for emergency use where there is
