Note: Supplemental flushing equipment cannot be used in place of required emergency showers or eyewashes.

(1) The employer must make sure hand-held drench hoses deliver at least 3.0 gallons (11. 4 liters) of water per minute for fifteen minutes or more.

Why use a drench hose? A drench hose is useful when:

2. Used with a shower for local rinsing, particularly on the lower extremities.

(2) The employer must make sure personal eyewash equipment delivers only clean water or other medically approved eye flushing solutions.
