In spaces where chemicals, dust, or debris are present, having a reliable eyewash station nearby is essential. The right workplace emergency equipment can make a critical difference when it matters.
This guide will walk you through the types of eyewash stations available, how to stay compliant with ANSI Z358.1 standards, and showcase trusted options from Hughes® and PIP Global’s Fendall line.
Accidents can happen quickly. A sudden splash of a chemical or a burst of dust can cause serious eye injuries if not addressed immediately. Eyewash units provide a fast and effective way to flush out contaminants while minimizing damage.
Key benefits:
Providing proper emergency eye and skin protection is a critical part of any workplace safety plan.
In Canada, workplaces follow the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for emergency eyewash and shower equipment, ANSI Z358.1. This standard outlines the requirements for proper design, installation, performance, and maintenance to ensure workers can respond quickly in the event of exposure to hazardous substances.
Key requirements of ANSI Z358.1 include:
Meeting ANSI Z358.1 not only helps ensure compliance with occupational health and safety regulations across Canada, but it also reinforces your commitment to workplace safety and employee well‑being.

Best practices include:
How often should eyewash stations be tested?
Weekly testing is recommended by ANSI to ensure equipment is functioning properly and safely.
Is there a difference between tap water and saline in eyewash stations?
Yes. Buffered saline is pH-balanced and sterile, making it safer for eye flushing, especially in portable units.
Can portable eyewash stations be used outdoors in winter?
Some units are not rated for freezing temperatures. For cold environments, look for heated or insulated models designed for outdoor use.
Hughes® provides insulated covers that ensure a tepid water eyewash station.
