New Document Informs Industrial Health and Safety Managers of Safe and Effective Treatment
2013-12-03
SMITHFIELD, R.I. — Dec. 3, 2013 — Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) announced today it has
published a new whitepaper entitled “How to Identify Safe and Effective
Emergency Eyewash – and the Hidden Dangers to Avoid.” Authored by the world
leader in personal protective equipment, including a broad line of emergency
eyewash, this nine-page publication from Honeywell Safety Products serves as an
invaluable resource to everyone responsible for industrial health and safety.
The whitepaper is available now for download in English and French at www.honeywellsafety.com/USA/Eyewash_Training.
“Our
in-depth experience with customers around the world shows there are still a lot
of questions about proper emergency eyewash selection, installation,
maintenance and usage. Beyond that, there is a lack of awareness for the many
ways that improper eyewash practices can further damage an already compromised
eye – at a huge expense to workers and employers alike,” said Kelly Piotti, senior
product manager for Honeywell Safety Products.
“We developed this whitepaper to support safety and facility managers in making
informed decisions about not only the various types of eyewash devices and
flushing fluids available, but also to warn against the less obvious dangers
that require careful consideration.”
Readers
will learn the latest national safety standards as well as equipment options
and proper overall usage. Emergency eyewash flushing fluids are also detailed, including
the differences between sterile and non-sterile fluids, buffered and Ph balanced
fluids, manufacturing processes and other possible sources of harmful impurities.
By providing a comprehensive look at the facts behind the safe and effective
treatment of industrial eye injuries, Honeywell aims to reduce the impact of
recordable eye injuries and support every organization’s overall safety culture.
Honeywell
is the world’s leading manufacturer of industrial eyewash stations and flushing
fluids. From founding the first portable emergency eyewash units to developing
