- 1). Turn on the eyewash station or emergency shower. For most eyewash stations there is a foot petal you stand on to activate it. For showers there is a chain you pull down on.
- 2). Stand in the shower or use the eyewash station for at least five minutes for mild irritation or up to 60 minutes for a penetrating chemical. Flush out your eyes immediately for the duration of the time.
- 3). Call 911 in case of severe burns. You may need medial treatment.
- 4). Remove your foot from the eyewash center or let go of the chain. This shuts off the emergency devices.
