> >I have heard informally about safety training elsewhere that includes "hands-on" eye wash training, meaning trainee puts eyes in running stream of water.

I have demonstrated the use of safety showers during lab safety trainings using a containment curtain and in the process accidentally demonstrated how wet you can get in the process, but I've never asked a trainee to use the eyewash.

For the purpose you're suggesting, there is a good 2 minute video from the University of California Berkeley at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O95MzSr1rE
that demonstrates live use of an eyewash and would probably make the same point that a live demo would.
