Hazardous Area Safety Showers – Aqua Safety

Hazardous Area Safety Showers

Safety Showers are specified worldwide throughout the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industries, providing workforce protection against risks and hazards in potentially explosive atmospheres as well as industrial areas. Emergency Safety showers provide an on-the-spot decontamination unit so workers are able to safely flush away corrosive solutions or substances that may otherwise cause personal injury.

Why use Safety Showers and Eyewash Stations?

Safety showers/eyewash stations are a vital piece of safety equipment used to mitigate the effects of exposure to polluting substances, providing the first line of defence from chemical splashes and burns in hazardous and industrial areas. Skin and eye burns caused by corrosive liquids, abrasive dust or polluting gases can cause serious harm; and any delays in treatment could have serious consequences.

Safety showers provide an on the spot decontamination unit allowing the user to flush away any harmful substances – quick reactions are crucial as they help to decrease the seriousness of the injury. Chemical splashes should be rinsed immediately before seeking further medical treatment.
