Hi All,

I have a question for those that have Emergency Eyewash stations 
(portable or plumbed).  What is the time frame specified on your 
retention schedule for the Weekly Inspection Checklists?  I have reviewed 
all of relevant regulations that I saw and none of them seem to give 
guidance on how long to retain these checklists; however they all say you 
must document the inspections.  

Here are the regs/standards I have reviewed:

29 CFR 1910.151(c)
ANSI Z358.1-2009 (at least what was provided to me as relevant by 
Safety)
10 CFR 851

Is anyone maybe aware of any case law related to these that might give 
guidance?

We currently have these listed under the "Routine Safety Inspections" 
category on our Retention Schedule and keep them for 1 year.  Our 
Environmental Health and Safety group is saying that we do not need to 
retain them past the current checklist (which is approximately 4 months 
worth of inspections).

Any guidance or best practices you could share for these types of routine 
safety inspection documents is appreciated.  Thanks!

Regards,
