Safety showers and eyewash are designed to deliver immediate and effective decontamination to protect personnel after exposure to chemicals or irritants. These devices can be standalone shower or eyewash stations or a combined unit. They should be placed near any potential hazards in a well lit, easy to access area.
In workplaces where employees face exposure to hazardous chemicals or particles like dust, sand, welding slag, or glass, it is crucial to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. This assessment should take into account potential injury types to identify effective risk management strategies.
Contact between chemicals and the eyes or skin can result in severe damage to individuals within a matter of seconds. Emergency safety showers and eyewash stations play a critical role in facilitating prompt and effective decontamination following exposure to hazardous substances.
Emergency showers and eyewash units from Spill Crew are tailored for diverse industries and applications. This product line covers combination showers featuring eyewash or eye/face wash, deluge showers, eyewash stations, eye/face wash stations, and portable, gravity-fed units.
In Australia, safety showers and eyewash stations are designated for use in manufacturing, oil and gas operations, mining, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and construction sites. These industries all handle various substances that have the potential to cause severe injury to workers. Having a dedicated safety shower or eyewash station on a worksite goes a long way to reducing the likelihood of personnel injuries in these industries.
Australian Standards are published documents that are designed to provide guidance to help ensure products, services, and systems are safe, consistent, and reliable. Australian Standard AS4775:2007 – Emergency eyewash equipment is the standard that outlines the requirements of using shower and eyewash equipment in the Australian workplace.
This Standard specifies minimum performance and use requirements such as correct installation, minimum water flow rates and supply pressure, for the treatment of the eyes or body of a person who has been exposed to materials which may cause serious injuries.
It is important employers give sufficient training and education to their employees on how to use safety showers and eye was stations.
