WHY WASH LITERALLY BLIND WORKPLACES INSPECT THEM WATER DIRT BACTERIA INSIDE TURN EMERGENCY SPRAYS BROWN STRAIGHT AND BACTERIA AN DRASTICALLY RISK INFECTIONS WHY LET CLEAR

Transcript

This is why using an eyewash station could literally blind you. Because most workplaces rarely inspect them or flush them, letting stagnant water collect rust, dirt, and dangerous bacteria inside the pipes. So when you turn it on during an emergency, it sprays contaminated brown liquid straight into your eyes. And putting that bacteria-filled fluid on an injured eye drastically increases the risk of severe infections. Which is why you should always let the line run clear.
