Workplace safety is a growing concern to employers. Stringent regulation, increased employee health education and awareness have led to advancements in processes, safety procedures and first-aid protocols to better treat the injured. Accordingly, the medical profession teaches and practices eye irrigation by introducing the flushing fluid at the inner corner of the eye – adjacent to the nose – and letting it run across the eye to the outer edge. The AXION MSR eye/face wash uses an inverted stream design which sweeps chemical and particulate contaminants away from the lacrimal punctum, consistent with medical irrigation protocols.
