Safety Shower
In the UK it is a health and safety requirement that a safety shower is fitted where there is a possibility that employees might suffer injury from chemicals or other hazardous substances. It may also be necessary to fit an emergency eyewash. Aadver Safety Equipment Ltd is a leader in the supply of emergency safety showers, eyewashes and safety equipment to industrial workplaces, laboratories and education. Our installations meet all the regulatory requirements and have clearly-marked instructions. They are quick and easy to use, ensuring optimum pain relief in an emergency situation. We give advice on usage, maintenance and testing, so you can be sure your solution works when it is required to. Our budget safety shower is ideal for a cost effective solution is required, whilst our compliant range of safety showers has the best emergency shower head on the market. It ensures the optimum cascade and spread of water in the event of an accident. The shower head is self-draining so there is never unclean water in the shower head. This also saves on the time needed to test and service the safety shower and avoids water spills.
Thousands of industrial accidents happen every year in spite of precautionary safety measures, accidents that are caused by human exposure to heat, to corrosive agents (fluid acids and caustics) and/or to influence by dust and corrosive aerosols (metal, dirt, fluids). These accidents cause the injured person acute pain, disablement and may even lead to loss of life. However, experience shows that the consequences and human suffering following such accidents can be considerably limited if water is applied using a safety shower immediately after the exposure. It is a fact of life that the risk lurks in many places: in the laboratory, in the kitchen, in the warehouse, in the chemical plant, in the workshop or generally speaking in any place where heat, corrosion or dust can cause serious human injury. For these reasons we strongly recommend the installation of an adequate safety shower as a means of limiting these risks.
