    The document discusses requirements for eyewash stations according to Australian and American safety standards. Eyewash stations must be located within 10 seconds of hazards, on the same level, unobstructed, and in a visible area identified with a sign. The document then provides questions to help determine if a workplace needs an eyewash station based on hazards present and personal protective equipment used. It lists performance criteria for eyewash stations such as delivering a continuous 15-minute flush of tepid water to both eyes simultaneously. Contact information is provided to arrange an eyewash assessment.
