# Eyewash Stations

Maintenance Services is responsible for maintaining eye wash stations. Eye wash stations and emergency showers are included in the Facilities & Operations Preventive Maintenance program to assure regular tests are performed. F&O will also perform and document monthly eyewash checks for eyewashes located in public corridors, mechanical rooms, and other non-lab locations. Report problems with eyewash stations and emergency showers to the Facilities Service Center at 647-2059 or [requests.fo.umich.edu](https://requests.fo.umich.edu).

Facilities & Operations installs new eyewash and shower stations at customer expense. Departments requesting this service should complete a work order at [requests.fo.umich.edu](https://requests.fo.umich.edu).
