Absolutely to the extent warehouse workers are exposed to eye injuries from chemicals or biohazards (the cite below comes from the OHS Regs for Indust Estabs.) The eye wash station must be located in a spot that’s readily accessible to exposed workers. Keep in mind that flushing must be immediate in many cases. So while I don’t know the layout of your facility, I’d be willing to bet that readily accessible means within the same building; if workers have to travel to a separate building, that’s probably not going to work.
PART III
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
124. Where a worker is exposed to a potential hazard of injury to the eye due to contact with a biological or chemical substance, an eyewash fountain shall be provided. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 851, s. 124.
Hope that helps and sorry for taking so long to reply.
