Safety Tip of the Week

Workplace Safety Tips and OSHA Guidance

A strong safety program is the foundation of a productive and responsible workplace. It goes beyond compliance—it creates a culture where hazards are identified early, risks are reduced, and employees understand their role in maintaining a safe environment. From personal protective equipment and hazard communication to machine safety and emergency preparedness, an effective program ensures every aspect of your operation supports a safer work environment.

Our Safety Tip of the Week is designed to reinforce that commitment by providing practical, easy-to-apply guidance across a wide range of workplace safety topics. Each week, we highlight key safety practices to help keep your employees safe, your facility compliant, and your operations running efficiently.

Emergency Eyewash Station Requirements and Best Practices

Posted: April 20, 2026

OSHA requires readily accessible eyewash stations where employees may be exposed to hazardous substances, with guidance aligned to ANSI Z358.1.

• Ensure stations are accessible within 10 seconds of hazard exposure
• Test units weekly to verify proper operation
• Keep access paths clear and unobstructed at all times
• Train employees on proper use before an emergency occurs

Properly maintained eyewash stations can significantly reduce the severity of eye injuries and improve workplace safety compliance.
