The saline is used to flush dust, debris and chemical splashes from the eyes as first aid. The dressings then cover and protect the eye until medical help takes over.
On an open eye wash panel, dust and grime settle on the bottles and dressings between checks. In cutting areas, yards and workshops, that dirt is the last thing anyone wants near an injured eye. The clear lid keeps everything covered, while staff can still see the bottles are in place.
Clear hinged lid: keeps the bottles and dressings covered, and lets you check the contents at a glance.
1 litre of sterile saline: two 500ml bottles give the amount HSE guidance suggests where mains tap water is not readily available.
Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride: the eye’s own salt level, gentle for longer rinsing.
Sterile eye dressings: cover and protect the eye once it has been rinsed.
Eye wash pictogram on the lid: marks the cabinet clearly as an emergency eye wash point.
Refillable: restock with 500ml eye wash bottles and eye dressings after use.

Employers fit eye wash cabinets where dust, debris or chemicals can reach the eyes and mains tap water is not close by. The closed lid suits dusty sites, yards and workshops, where an open panel would get dirty. First aiders and trained staff use it, with a colleague helping the casualty to rinse.
Providing eye wash near cutting, grinding and drilling areas on site.
Fitting eye wash in site welfare units without mains water nearby.
Equipping workshops and yards where dust settles on open equipment.
Providing eye wash close to chemical stores and battery charging areas.
Setting up eye wash points in school and college labs.
Step 1: Open the lid and take out a bottle.
Step 2: Check that the solution is clear and the seal is intact, then open the bottle.
Step 3: Tilt the head towards the injured side, hold the eye open and pour gently from the inner corner to the outer corner.
Step 4: Keep rinsing, using the second bottle if needed. The manufacturer advises rinsing for at least 10 minutes after chemicals or small particles.
Step 5: Cover the eye with a sterile eye dressing and seek medical attention.
Step 6: Discard opened bottles and restock the cabinet.
Stopping rinsing too soon after a chemical splash.
Keeping an opened bottle for later, which risks infection.
Using a bottle where the solution is cloudy or the seal is broken.
Mounting the cabinet far from the hazard.
Leaving the cabinet empty after an incident.
For external use and irrigation only. Not for injection. Seek medical attention after any eye injury. Where corrosive chemicals are used, follow your COSHH and first aid needs assessments, which may call for a plumbed eye wash unit.
Check the bottles and dressings during routine first aid checks, and replace any that are opened, damaged or out of date. Keep the lid closed and clean.
Q: What is an eye wash kit cabinet used for?
A: It holds sterile saline and eye dressings at a fixed point, ready to flush dust, debris and chemical splashes from the eyes. The clear lid keeps the contents covered between incidents.
Q: What does 2 x 500ml mean on an eye wash kit?
A: It means two bottles of sterile saline, each holding 500ml. Together they give 1 litre, the amount HSE guidance suggests where mains tap water is not readily available.
Q: How long should an eye be rinsed for?
A: The manufacturer advises rinsing for at least 10 minutes after chemicals or small particles, with clean water or sterile fluid. Use the second bottle if needed, and get medical help straight away.
Q: What is this eye wash kit not suitable for?
A: It has no mirror, so it does not suit lone workers who need to see the eye while rinsing. It is not for injection, and opened bottles must not be reused. Where the risk assessment calls for a plumbed eye wash unit, this kit does not replace it.
Q: Should I choose a cabinet or an open eye wash station?
A: A cabinet keeps the bottles covered, so it suits dusty sites, yards and workshops. An open station with a mirror suits lone workers who treat themselves. Both hold 1 litre of saline.
Q: Why can each bottle only be used once?
A: Once a bottle is opened, the solution can no longer be treated as sterile and could cause infection. Throw away any solution left after use and fit a new bottle.
Q: How do I restock the cabinet?
A: Replace used bottles with 500ml sterile eye wash bottles and used dressings with sterile eye dressings. Check expiry dates during first aid checks.
