Each pod has a twist-off top and enough solution to rinse dust or grit from one eye. It is fixed close to where people work, so eye care is visible and within reach.
A large bottle that has been opened for a small incident can no longer be trusted as sterile. Teams either throw away most of the solution or keep using an opened bottle. Each pod here is sealed on its own, so one is used and the other nine stay sterile for the next incident.
Ten single-use 20ml pods: one pod per rinse, so the rest stay sealed and sterile.
Sterile 0.9% saline: sodium chloride at the eye’s own salt level, sterilised by radiation.
Twist-off pod tops: open quickly, with no tools.
Built-in mirror: lets the casualty see the eye when rinsing alone.
Slim 2.3cm panel: sits flat to the wall in corridors, offices and site cabins.
Pictogram directions panel: shows each step at a glance.

Employers fit pod stations where a small amount of dust or grit can reach the eyes and mains tap water is close by. They suit offices, workshops, classrooms and site cabins, often as an extra eye care point beside a larger bottle station. Anyone can use one, as the panel shows each step.
Rinsing a speck of dust or grit from the eye in an office or warehouse.
Providing an eye care point in site cabins and welfare units.
Equipping workshops, design and technology rooms and school labs.
Adding an extra eye wash point away from the main first aid station.
Giving lone workers a mirror and pods to rinse their own eye.
Step 1: Check that the pod seal is intact, then twist off the top.
Step 2: Tilt the head towards the injured side and hold the eye open, using the mirror if alone.
Step 3: Squeeze the pod gently so the solution flows across the eye from the inner to the outer corner.
Step 4: Use another pod if the eye still feels gritty.
Step 5: Cover the eye with an eye pad if needed, and seek medical attention.
Step 6: Throw away used pods and restock the station.
Relying on pods for chemical splashes, which need far more solution.
Keeping a half-used pod for later.
Using a pod with a broken seal.
Mounting the station in a dusty or dirty area.
Leaving the station half empty after use.
For external use and irrigation only. Not for injection. Do not use a pod if the seal is broken. Seek medical attention after any eye injury that does not clear quickly. Where there is no mains tap water nearby, HSE guidance suggests at least 1 litre of sterile water or saline, so add 500ml eye wash bottles.
Check the pods and eye pads during routine first aid checks. Replace used or damaged pods so all ten are in place. Keep the mirror and panel clean.
Q: What is an eye wash pod station used for?
A: It is used to rinse dust, grit and small particles from the eyes as first aid. Each pod is opened for one rinse, and the mirror helps people treat themselves. It gives a fixed, visible eye care point on the wall.
Q: What does 10 x 20ml mean on an eye wash pod station?
A: It means ten pods, each holding 20ml of sterile saline. Together they hold 200ml. One pod is usually enough to rinse a speck of dust from one eye.
Q: Is a pod station enough to meet HSE guidance?
A: Where mains tap water is not readily available, HSE guidance suggests at least 1 litre of sterile water or saline. This station holds 200ml, so it suits workplaces with tap water nearby. Where water is further away, add 500ml eye wash bottles.
Q: What is this pod station not suitable for?
A: It is not for chemical splashes, which need 500ml eye wash bottles or a plumbed eye wash unit. Opened pods are not for reuse. Do not mount it in dirty or dusty areas.
Q: Should I choose a pod station or a 500ml bottle station?
A: A pod station suits minor dust and grit, and each pod stays sealed until used. A bottle station holds 1 litre for longer rinsing after dust clouds or splashes. Many workplaces fit a bottle station near the main hazard and pod stations elsewhere.
Q: Where should a pod station be mounted?
A: Mount it on a wall close to where people work, in a clean, dust-free area. Keep it visible and at a height everyone can reach. The slim panel suits corridors, offices and cabins.
Q: How do I keep the station ready to use?
A: Check it during routine first aid checks, and replace any used or damaged pods and eye pads. Keep the mirror clean so it can be used straight away.
