The engineered OptiStream spray heads feature flow regulators, easy to clean filters and self opening covers to protect flushing fluid from airborne contaminants.
Choosing the right equipment for your facility requires careful consideration. In Australia, the Australian Standard AS4775-2007 outlines the requirements for emergency eyewash and shower equipment. This standard provides guidance on the design, installation, and maintenance.
Placement of eyewash and shower equipment
Proper placement of safety showers and eyewash stations is essential to ensure quick and effective response in the event of a chemical exposure or spill. Safety showers and eyewash stations should be located in areas where there is a reasonable chance of exposure to corrosive or otherwise hazardous materials. They should be positioned along normal paths of travel, within 10 seconds walking distance from the potential hazard. The eyewash and shower should be situated in a well-lit area that is free of obstructions, allowing for immediate access.
Proper placement and maintenance of safety showers and eyewash stations can mean the difference between a minor incident and a serious injury. Understanding the Australian Standard requirements and best practices for their installation is crucial for workplace safety.
Importance of safety shower and eyewash testing and inspections
Proper installation and regular maintenance are essential to ensure the equipment is in working order and ready to respond in an emergency. Regular testing and inspections, as well as staff training on the proper use of the equipment, can help ensure your facility is prepared to handle any chemical or hazardous incident. By understanding the requirements and best practices for emergency shower and eyewash stations, you can ensure your workplace is equipped with the right safety equipment to protect your employees and comply with Australian safety standards.
