Comments: To: LABSAFETY-L Discussion List
ANSI in conjunction with the International Safety Equipment Association, has just issued the update of ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2009, "American National Standard for Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment".  Among the changes is a definition of flusing fluid, which states
 
"Potable water, preserved water, preserved buffered saline solution or other medically acceptable solution manufactured and labeled in accordance with applicable government regulations."
 
As I read this, a solution such as Diphoterine(TM) (for all chemical contaminations except HF and related) or Hexafluorine(TM) (for HF related) can be used if your company's medical consultant authorizes it.  See www.prevor.com for more information
 
I find this a long needed and very helpful change.
 
(In the interests of full disclosure, my firm is retained by Prevor)  That said, if I get nitric acid on me, I am grabbing the Diphoterine.
