Eyewash stations are required by OSHA in all service departments and need to be routinely serviced. If you are using an eyewash station that requires solution, make sure the eyewash station is changed according to the instructions on the packaging. NHADA WCT provides FREE solution to our members for gravity-fed eyewash stations. NHADA WCT Loss Prevention Consultants are here to help our members comply with these requirements. If the irrigation of the eye does not cure the problem, then medical treatment might be necessary, and our Nurse Case Manager, Marta Silakka, can help facilitate a referral. While some members are programmed to send employees to urgent care centers for most injuries, that may not be the best option for eye injuries. A simple call to Marta will help the employee get the best treatment in a timely fashion. She will most likely start with a referral to an Ophthalmologist; they are located across the State, and many will see injured workers on the same day. Delayed treatment might result in a costly emergency room visit that will often result in an ophthalmologist referral anyway. Contact the NHADA WCT Loss Prevention Department at 603-224-2369 for help choosing and maintaining eyewash stations and free eye protection. Contact Marta Silakka at 603-224-2369 to get a referral for treatment if necessary. N E W H A M P S H I R E 17
