in case of accidental contact with chemicals, how long should the eyes be flushed at the eyewash station?
Flush the eyes immediately and continuously for at least 15 minutes at the eyewash station after accidental contact with chemicals, and follow the product’s safety data sheet (SDS) for any longer recommended time.
If the chemical type is unknown, many safety references advise flushing for 15–20 minutes as a default, and up to 60 minutes for severe or corrosive exposures, while seeking urgent medical attention.
