I-OSHA yamukele imithethonqubo eminingana ebhekisela ku-
ukusetshenziswa kwezimo eziphuthumayo zokugeza amehlo kanye nemishini yokugeza.I
umthethonqubo oyinhloko uqukethwe ku-29 CFR 1910.151, okuyinto

eyewashes, seyemukelwe ohulumeni abaningi
izinhlangano zezempilo nezokuphepha ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwe
US, kanye ne-International Plumbing Code.I
izinga liyingxenye yekhodi yokwakha ezindaweni lapho
bamukele Ikhodi Yomhlaba Wonke Yamapayipi.
