Eyewash Station Maintenance

Eyewash stations are a critical safety component in labs, pharmacies, manufacturing sites, commercial facilities, and healthcare environments. These systems must reliably deliver clean, tepid, water on demand to meet OSHA, ANSI Z358.1, and Department of Health requirements. Consistent functionality, documented inspections, and proper water quality are essential to ensuring employee safety and maintaining regulatory compliance. FillPure provides all of the preventative maintenance needed to guarantee the water used in eyewash stations remains safe and compliant.

Without a clear maintenance plan in place, facilities experience:

  • Stagnant water, bacterial growth, scale buildup, and clogged flow pathways.
  • Inconsistent weekly and annual testing due to staffing constraints or lack of assigned accountability.
  • Improper temperature control, with eyewash units either too cold or exceeding the maximum threshold outlined under ANSI/OSHA standards.
  • Lack of documentation of inspections or testing, which many regulatory bodies require for auditing, compliance reporting, and workplace safety verification.
  • Unclear ownership between facilities, safety teams, and lab managers regarding who is responsible for maintenance and testing.
  • Biofilm, sediment, and scale buildup inside pipes and fixtures, creating potential exposure risks for employees using the station in an emergency.
  • Reactive response patterns, where issues are only discovered during inspections — or worse, when an emergency occurs.

FillPure’s Eyewash Station Maintenance Plan

FillPure provides a standardized, proactive service program for eyewash stations that ensures compliance, safety, and reliability across all facility locations. Our approach includes:

  • Regular operation inspection, testing, and documentation aligned with OSHA, ANSI Z358.1, and health department requirements.
  • Water quality management, including flushing schedules, filter solutions where applicable, and sediment mitigation.
  • Temperature verification to ensure stations remain within required “tepid water” ranges for safe use.
  • Asset tracking and reporting, giving facility managers complete visibility into inspection history, compliance status, and maintenance activity.
  • Corrective-action identification, including recommendations for replacements, upgrades, and flow/temperature corrections.
  • Chain-wide standardization, which reduces risk, ensures consistent performance, and eliminates guesswork for facility and safety teams.
