MOBILE SHOWERS AND EYEBATHS September 1st 2003 Should a corrosive chemical come into contact with the skin it is a medical fact that the sooner the initial treatment can happen the less the tissue damage will be. If treatment is not started within 10sec, it is likely that any damage will be permanent.
This may mean having equipment that can be moved easily or carried to wherever the person is working. One solution, especially for minor splashes, is the self-contained, portable pressurised cylinder unit.
The Hughes Safety Showers range includes units with capacities from 9 to 45l that can deliver copious quantities of water through handheld showers on flexible hoses. These can be used for eyes, face or body. The largest model also has a fixed eye and facewash attachment.
The company can also provide a combined emergency
shower and eyebath that is completely self-contained and mobile. More articles from Hughes Safety Showers Limited: |
