Why use Eyewash/Wound wash? A complete range of emergency eyewash is available to enable you to comply with the ACOP L74 health and safety (first aid) regulations. “If mains tap water is not readily available for eye irritation, at least a litre or sterile water or saline (0.9% w/v) in sealed, disposable containers should be provided. Once the seal has been broken, the containers should not be kept for reuse. The container should not be used after the expiry date.” Sterowash is so much safer than tap water, but why?

• Possible bacterial infection from contaminated water
• Potential eye irritation by chlorine and chemicals
• Natural objection to cold water reaction
• Physical problems associated with placing the eye under a tap or into a sink
