A timer and alert module for an emergency eyewash station, said module comprising:
- a housing;
- a control circuit contained within said housing, the control circuit having a timing cycle;
- a speaker electrically connected to the control circuit;
- a switch configured and arranged to disable the control circuit;
- and
- a sensor configured and arranged to trigger the control circuit to start the timing cycle;
- whereby the control circuit selectively activates the speaker periodically during the timing cycle.
An emergency eyewash station, comprising:
- a body portion;
- a reservoir disposed within said body portion, the reservoir containing eyewash fluid therein;
- a dispensing structure in fluid communication with the reservoir;
- and
- an actuator assembly coupled to the body portion, the actuator assembly being movable between an armed position and an actuated position,
- a control circuit contained within the body portion, the control circuit having a timing cycle;
- a speaker electrically connected to the control circuit;
- a switch configured and arranged to disable the control circuit;
- and
- a sensor configured and arranged to trigger the control circuit to start the timing cycle when the actuator assembly is moved from the armed position to the actuated position;
- said eyewash fluid being dispensed from the reservoir to the dispensing structure when the actuator assembly is moved from the armed position to the actuated position;
- whereby the control circuit selectively activates the speaker periodically during the timing cycle.
