Canadian Emergency Eye Wash Stations and Shower Equipment

You should consult your local occupational health and safety agency in your jurisdiction and check relevant legislation for any requirements to install this emergency showers and eye wash equipment.

We understand there is currently no Canadian standard for the design or placement of eye wash stations or emergency showers.

Therefore, as a result, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Z358.1-2009 "Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment" is generally used as a guide.

There are fourteen jurisdictions in Canada - one federal, ten provincial and three territorial each having its own occupational health and safety legislation. For most people in Canada, the agency that you would contact is the provincial or territorial agency in the area where you work. There are some exceptions to this. Federal legislation covers employees of the federal government and Crown agencies and corporations across Canada. The Canada Labour Code also applies to employees of companies or sectors that operate across provincial or international borders.

We suggest you visit the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety
