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.
