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.

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.
