Safety Class – Eyewash Station – Yearly Requirement

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recommends your facility may have a door separating emergency fixtures, but that door cannot have a lock and in must open towards the shower or eyewash station.

Of course, this makes sense. Imagine a scenario where someone has just splashed a hazardous chemical in their eye. Groping to open the door could mean precious seconds, or perhaps even further injury. And since ANSI standards requires eyewash stations to be accessible within 10 seconds or less of the hazard, a door that swings towards the station is an important safety issue.
