The Sterowash 500ml eyewash station is a two-piece construction station that can be wall-mounted or left freestanding near the primary hazard source. Contains two 500ml Sterowash bottles for sustained eye and wound irrigation following chemical splash, dust contamination, or particulate exposure. The integrated dust cover maintains bottle sterility in workshop and industrial environments.
Compliance Summary: This station provides emergency eye irrigation with sterile Sterowash solution. Workplaces with chemical or particulate hazards should position eye wash within 10 seconds of the hazard source under COSHH assessment requirements. Two 500ml bottles provide approximately 30 minutes of combined irrigation time.
Can Sterowash be used on wounds as well as eyes?
Yes. Sterowash is a sterile saline solution suitable for both eye irrigation and wound washing. The dual-purpose capability means a single station serves both functions, reducing the number of separate provisions needed at each hazard point. For eye use, hold the eyelids open and flush from the inner corner outwards.
How often should the bottles be replaced?
Replace bottles before the expiry date printed on each bottle, even if unused. Sterile saline solutions have a defined shelf life beyond which sterility cannot be guaranteed. Check bottles monthly as part of your first aid equipment audit and replace any bottles that have been opened, damaged, or have passed their expiry date.
