Yes, eye flushing is a form of first aid.
as much as you have
Yes
Sometimes!!! In the "OSHA Forms for Recording Work-related Injuries and Illnesses" last updated in 2004, it states that a recordable is any injury that is considered medical treatment beyond first aid. In the "What is first aid?" section it states that ,in bullet point 9 using an eye patch is first aid therefore non-recordable, in bullet points 10 and 11 if means of removal of a foreign body in any body part other than the eye is first aid, therefore if it is removed from the eye it is a recordable.

Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) would be the best choice for the eye irrigation.
Flushing away dust and foreign objects, keeping the eye moist.
Go to the nearest eye wash station or flush your eye with water. Depending on the severity you may want to consider going to your local emergency room.Exercise CautionWhile pain or burning should be alleviated, foreign objects or materials in the eyes can become embedded or migrate to the back of the eye, so very minimal flushing is advised. Always seek professional medical care if there is any lingering discomfort, pain, or visible injury to the eyeball.
Fill an unused small disposable bathroom cup (3 ounces) with water to over-flowing. Bending over sink, lean down and put eye directly into water. Open and close eye several times, then empty cup and refill with clean water; repeat blinking your eye open and closed several times. If necessary, empty cup and refill with clean water several times until eye is thoroughly flushed. This method can be used for flushing certain chemicals from eyes (if label on container says to flush), or for removal of dirt, eyelashes, etc. that gets into eyes.
Some of the essentials of any first aid kit include adhesive bandages, gauze roll, sterile cotton balls, eye shield, antiseptic solutions, saline, antihistamines such as Benadryl.
I belive it helps by flushing the eye and helping with irritation. You can also use non salt-water for the job because they both do the same.
Flush the eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes minimum. If only 1 eye is contaminated, do not flush down into the other eye.
