The ANSI Z358.1-1990 standard specified the distance to a safety eyewash/shower be 100 feet or 10 seconds travelling time or 100 feet. The 2004 version of the standard specifies 10 seconds. How do you define acceptable distance? * By time only (10 secs.) * By 10 secs./100 ft., or * By 10 secs./A distance other than 100 ft. Please advise. "Inquiring minds want to know!"
