Poorly Located / Nonfunctional Eyewash Stations Eyewash stations must be positioned 33 to 45 inches above floor-level and at least six inches from the wall (or nearest obstruction). A facility’s size determines how many stations it needs, but all should be in well-lit areas and reachable within 10 seconds. They should be tested to assure both outlet heads are operating full-flow.
