Categories: Environment of Care March 3, 2026

Eye wash stations are not required for areas where Germicidal Disposable Wipes are utilized as intended for surface disinfection. Although Super Sani-Cloth®, Sani-Cloth Prime, Sani-Cloth Bleach, Sani-HyPerCide®, Sani-Cloth AF3, and Sani-Cloth Plus are classified as eye irritants, there is no OSHA or ANSI regulation that requires an eye wash station for eye irritants and therefore one not needed for these products.  Handling of any chemical product, whether category 1, 2, 3, or 4, include using PPE when required, engineering controls if appropriate, and safe work practice controls to minimize any risk of exposure
