Emergency eyewash station inspection checklist

Use the additional comments section to document specific issues requiring maintenance, note water temperature observations, record parts that need replacement, or highlight accessibility concerns. This section provides valuable context for follow-up actions, creates a detailed maintenance history, and helps identify recurring problems. When completed thoroughly, it serves as crucial documentation for safety audits and regulatory compliance verification.

If you mark “No” for any inspection item, immediately create an action plan to address the deficiency. Document the issue in the comments section, notify the appropriate maintenance personnel or safety officer, and establish a timeline for resolution. Follow up to ensure repairs are completed promptly, as non-compliant eyewash stations pose serious safety risks and potential regulatory violations. Always re-inspect after corrections are made.

The inspection should be signed by the person who physically conducted the inspection, typically a safety officer, facility manager, or designated inspector with proper training. In some organizations, a supervisor or department head may also need to review and countersign the document. Establish clear accountability for inspection completion and follow-up actions through proper signature protocols based on your facility’s safety management system.
