Ensure Sanitary Compliance for Emergency Eyewash Stations The Evac Systems Eyewash Station Cover is a simple yet critical safety accessory designed to solve a common industrial problem: dirty eyewash bowls. In dusty shops, factories, or labs, open eyewash basins often collect trash, grinding dust, and chemical residue. This cover keeps the nozzles and bowl sanitary, ensuring that when an emergency occurs, you aren't flushing an injured eye with contaminants.
Open eyewash discharge ports collect what the room produces. In a machine shop that means grinding dust and metal shavings. Outdoors it means windblown grit, rain, and insects. Either way, the first flush of an emergency should not be pushing that debris toward an injured eye.
The EVAC Systems Eye Wash Cover fits over the discharge port assembly on standard stations and keeps it clean between uses. A bottom drawstring cinches the cover closed against wind, which is what makes it work on outdoor and exposed installations where a loose drape does not stay put.
Key Features
- Drawstring closure: Cinches at the bottom for a secure fit that holds in wind. Releases in about a second when you need the station.
- Debris protection: Covers the discharge ports and keeps dust, shavings, and airborne debris out of the assembly between uses.
- Built for exposed installations: Suited to outdoor stations, loading areas, and any location where a simple drape would blow off.
- High-visibility color: Red or orange makes the station easier to spot across a shop floor or a staging area.
- Made in the USA: Domestic manufacture
Where It Fits in Your Compliance Program
ANSI Z358.1 Section 5.1.3 requires that eyewash nozzles be protected from airborne contaminants, and that the protective device come off without a separate motion when the unit is activated. Station-integrated flip-off covers are what meet that requirement.
This cover is a maintenance measure, not a substitute for those. It protects the port assembly between uses so that the equipment stays clean and serviceable, and it must be removed before activating the station. Facilities running weekly activation checks under Section 5.5 typically remove and replace it as part of that routine.
