Why buffered solutions?
Buffered rinsing solutions help to neutralise acid or alkali splashes in the eye and normalise the pH value in the eye.
These "buffered solutions" are therefore many times more effective than water or purely isotonic solutions.
Buffered solutions are also suitable for neutralising rinsing in the event of skin burns.
Eye injuries in the workplace
Eye injuries happen in all areas of work and every company should be prepared to deal with an eye accident in the workplace. After all, if an employee injures their eye, this can result in serious damage or loss of vision.
This applies in particular to workplaces where cleaning agents, hydraulic oils, solvents, acids, alkalis or other aggressive liquids or substances are used. There is also always a risk of eye injuries in work areas where foreign bodies such as swarf, dust or dirt particles are produced. Rapid and copious rinsing dilutes the contaminants and flushes them out. Quick access to an eyewash bottle should therefore be available.
Because: In the event of eye injuries, just a few seconds can decide whether vision is impaired or even lost!
Caution!
In the case of splinter injuries, the eye should not be rinsed but immobilised with a suitable dressing. The injured person should consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
