OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) mandates that safety showers and eyewash stations be readily accessible in laboratories where hazardous substances are used. These safety devices are crucial for providing immediate decontamination in case of chemical spills or splashes, minimizing injury and ensuring swift response in emergencies. They must be inspected regularly and maintained in proper working order to comply with safety regulations. Additionally, employees should be trained on their location and proper use.
