Emergency Eyewash Stations You Can Count On
Emergency eyewash stations play a critical role in workplace safety, providing immediate response support during eye‑related emergencies or incidents. But simply having a station in place isn’t enough—it must be properly maintained to perform when it’s needed.
Cintas provides and services self‑contained, plumbed, and supplemental eyewash units. While eyewash may not require daily attention, ongoing service helps make sure it’s prepared for the moment it matters most.
