[Histonet] Eye Protection Question

[Bartlett, Jeanine]

We flush ours weekly as well.  We cover them with a small plastic garbage bag and let them run a minimum of 10 minutes.

	Hi,
	I agree totally with Joe's point about flushing your eyewash stations
	regularly. These are often forgotten about and can become incredibly
	contaminated over a very short period. We had micro prepare some plates on
	the water in the eyewash stations and there were some fairly pathogenic
	species present.

	Jordon,
	we have full-face safety shields as well as surgical masks with an attached
	eye shield. We wear either when changing the staining machines and tissue
	processors. When I gross, I wear my eyeglasses that are classified as safety
	wear. We have never had an incident, but we flush our eyewash stations
	weekly because you never know what will happen.

	Good Morning!
	
	What kind of eye protection are technicians required to  wear in the
	laboratory during grossing, sectioning, processor maintenance, etc.?
	
	Thanks and have a great day.
