Abstract: The present invention of portable eye shower for height workers as a safety is for the use by construction workers, tower technicians, maintenance personnel, industrial climbers and other workers exposed to dust, particulate matter, chemical splashes, welding sparks, and foreign bodies in elevated or difficult-to-access locations. The device comprises a flexible silicone fluid reservoir, a manually operated pressure/dispensing mechanism, a flow-control arrangement, a flexible delivery tube, an ergonomic eye-wash nozzle, and a wearable mounting assembly configured for attachment to personal protective equipment such as a safety harness, belt, vest, or backpack. The reservoir preferably contains sterile saline solution or suitable irrigation water and has a sealed, refillable configuration to minimize contamination and leakage. After activation, the dispensing mechanism delivers irrigation fluid through the flexible tube to the ergonomic nozzle, that provides a controlled stream for flushing the affected eye. The device operates without external electrical power and remains secured to the worker during elevated occupational activities, thereby enabling rapid access to emergency eye irrigation without requiring the worker to descend to a conventional fixed eyewash station. The invention addresses the accessibility and response-time limitations of stationary eyewash facilities in elevated, remote, and difficult-to-access workplaces.
