FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS.
Does OSHA require eyewash stations on construction and industrial sites?
Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151 and 1926.50 require emergency eyewash stations wherever corrosive chemicals or hazardous materials are present. Units must be reachable within 10 seconds of any chemical exposure area, and must provide 15 minutes of continuous tepid water flow per ANSI Z358.1.
Are BHI eyewash stations ANSI Z358.1 compliant?
Yes. All BHI eyewash stations meet the current ANSI Z358.1 standard, which specifies unit performance, flow rate, nozzle design, placement distance, and maintenance intervals. We deliver units, place them correctly within OSHA's 10-second travel requirement, and service them on schedule to keep them inspection-ready.
What types of eyewash stations does BHI offer?
We offer three types: gravity-fed portable units (most common, no power or plumbing required), pressurized portable units for higher-flow emergencies, and combination eye-and-face wash units for higher-risk chemical splash areas.
What areas does BHI serve for eyewash station rentals?
We deliver portable eyewash station rentals across Southwest Louisiana, including DeRidder, Leesville, Lake Charles, Sulphur, Jennings, and Oakdale. Primary service areas include Beauregard, Vernon, Calcasieu, and Allen Parishes. Call (337) 409-5961 to confirm availability for your site.
How often must portable eyewash stations be inspected?
ANSI Z358.1 requires weekly activation checks on all portable eyewash stations to confirm proper function, and annual inspection of the full unit against the standard. BHI handles activation checks during routine service visits and performs monthly tank refills or solution replacement as part of every rental.
