When your workplace involves chemicals, dust, debris, cutting, welding, or any risk of eye contamination — immediate eye‑wash access can prevent serious injury or long‑term damage. At Norsemen Safety we supply a full range of eyewash bottles, pods and portable eye‑wash kits — designed for quick, effective eye irrigation when accidents happen, whether in a factory, workshop, construction site or mobile work environment.
Rapid response for eye hazards: In the event of chemical splashes, dust, debris or foreign objects — flushing the eyes immediately with sterile eyewash can significantly reduce the risk of burns, irritation or permanent damage. According to safety‑guidance sources, prompt eye irrigation can prevent serious, lifelong eye injury.
Portable – ideal where fixed stations are unavailable: Not all workplaces can accommodate a fixed eye‑wash station. Eyewash bottles and pods offer a portable, convenient alternative — allowing first aid close to the hazard, or even while transporting an injured person to a proper station or medical facility.
Compliance & peace of mind: Where there’s a risk of eye injury from chemicals or debris, having suitable eyewash provision is widely regarded as part of workplace first aid standards, especially if mains water isn’t immediately available.
Norsemen Safety supplies a variety of eye‑wash solutions to suit different risk environments and workplace setups:
Portable Eyewash Bottles & Saline Bottles — sterile, sealed bottles (usually 250 ml–1 L) containing neutral solution ideal for eye irrigation. These are quick to use and easy to store in first-aid kits, vehicles or on-site stations.
Eyewash Pods & Single‑Use Eye Rinse Units — compact, small‑volume units useful for quick flushing of dust or small debris from eyes; handy for tool‑boxes, vans, or small worksites.
Portable Eye‑Wash Kits / Eye‑Care Kits — combining bottles or pods with eye‑pads, cleansing wipes and basic first‑aid items — a ready‑to‑use solution for workplaces without fixed eye‑wash installations.
To maximise safety and effectiveness when using an eyewash bottle or pod:
Administer immediately after exposure — within seconds of a chemical splash, dust, or debris entering the eye, begin flushing. Immediate action reduces risk of serious damage or contamination.
Use sterile solution only — sealed eyewash bottles or pods usually contain sterile saline or buffered solution, safer than tap water especially in chemical‑exposure cases.
Ensure both eyes are flushed thoroughly — even if only one eye appears affected; contaminants can splash or spread.
After initial irrigation, seek further medical help if necessary — for corrosive chemicals, persistent irritation, burns or ongoing discomfort. Eyewash bottles provide first aid — proper medical evaluation may still be required.
Replace after use, and check expiration regularly — eyewash solutions are sealed; once opened, the bottle should not be reused; and stored bottles should be rotated to ensure effectiveness.
Eyewash bottles and pods are especially valuable in workplaces such as:
Construction sites, building and renovation works — where dust, debris and debris from cutting or drilling pose a risk to eyes.
Factories, workshops, manufacturing plants — where chemicals, solvents, welding or metalwork could cause splashes or particles.
Laboratories, maintenance workshops and chemical handling facilities — where incidental chemical exposure is possible.
Mobile workforces, delivery vehicles, vans, remote jobs — where a fixed eyewash station isn’t feasible; portable eyewash kits ensure readiness.
Sites with fluctuating work conditions and infrequent external water supply — such as temporary worksites, outdoor sites or remote areas.
Reliable, compliant eyewash solutions: Our bottles, pods and eye‑wash kits meet standards used widely across UK workplaces for emergency eye irrigation.
Portability and flexibility: Ideal for vans, mobile teams, temporary worksites or any workplace without fixed eye‑wash stations.
Ease of use: Designed for quick, intuitive use — even by individuals without formal first‑aid training — enabling fast response in emergencies.
Comprehensive selection: From basic standalone bottles to full kits, we offer eyewash solutions tailored to various workplace hazards and needs.
Complementary safety & first aid support: Eyewash bottles can be part of a broader first aid and PPE kit, helping you cover a range of potential hazards beyond eye exposure.
To build a thorough workplace safety and first‑aid setup, consider pairing eyewash items with:
General First Aid Kits & Supplies — for cuts, wounds, burns, and general emergencies.
Protective Eyewear & Face Shields — for prevention of eye injuries before they occur.
Chemical Protection Gear & PPE — where chemicals or hazardous substances are handled.
Gloves & Hand Protection — to manage chemicals or hazardous materials safely.
Spill Kits & Waste Disposal Solutions — to manage cleanup of chemicals or hazardous spills, reducing risk of repeat exposure.
