Eyewash and Shower

If you are exposed to chemicals, as you move to the shower/eyewash describe the situation to your lab partner. e.g. "I've splashed hydrochloric acid in my eyes. I'm not wearing contacts".

Start flushing with water immediately.

EMERGENCY SHOWER (next to acid cabinet)

For use if your skin has been exposed to dangerous chemicals such as acids

Pull triangle on chain to operate shower.
Remove contaminated clothing as you flush yourself. Don't be modest; you can dress in a clean tyvek suit on the way out.
Do not concern yourself with water on the floor.
Wash for 15 minutes (that seems like a very long time; have your lab partner time it).

EMERGENCY EYEWASH (next to acid cabinet)

For use if your eyes have been exposed to dangerous chemicals such as acids

Push lever to operate eyewash.
Hold eye lids open and direct flow into eyes.
Remove contact lenses while flushing eyes (lab partner: ask about contacts, don't assume)
Do not concern yourself with water on the floor.
Wash for 15 minutes (that seems like a very long time; have your lab partner time it).

There is a drain under the eyewash and shower; lab partner can pull the lid to drain some of the excess water if desired.
