The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard 29 CFR 1910.151(c) requires emergency showers and eyewash stations "where the eyes or body of any person may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials, suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided within the work area for immediate emergency use." Better professional safety practice suggests emergency showers and eyewash stations be included not only in areas with chemical hazards (paint thinner, turpentine, etc.), but also biological (yeast, plants, etc.) and physical hazards (wood dust, particulate, metal shavings, etc.). Given that these hazards are commonly found in technology and engineering (T&E) education labs, STEM labs, and makerspaces, both instructors and school administrators need to make sure they not only have these engineering controls available, but that they are appropriately installed, operated, and maintained. By reference, OSHA defers to the American National Standard for Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment (ANSI/ ISEA Z358.1 - 2014). Since compliance with these safety standards is the duty of both instructors and school administrators, they must be aware of important components of these controls to ensure they are operating as designed. The specifications discussed in this article should help keep both students and instructors safer in the teaching/learning environment.
