Emergency safety showers for hire

Emergency safety showers must be situated within 20m of a hazard. Crucial seconds lost after exposure to a toxic substance could lead to serious injury or damage to eyesight.

Companies needing an emergency safety shower – for example, during an annual maintenance shutdown – may not want to commit to purchasing a safety shower. Hughes offers a solution with three models to hire:

• The STD-J-40K/45G Mobile Self-Contained  Emergency Safety Shower is suitable as a secondary measure to supplement a site's permanent safety showers. This model is easy to manoeuvre and suitable for towing. Its adjustable wheel-spacing means it can fit through a standard door opening.
• If you require a larger capacity mobile unit, the STD-MH-P-1200L Mobile Self-Contained Heated Emergency Safety Shower. is ANSI compliant and features an integral immersion heater to maintain the water at a tepid temperature and provides a continuous flow of water for 15 minutes. The unit can be transported behind a suitable vehicle using the towing hitch provided.
• For situations where tepid water, a constant water supply or sufficient water pressure are unavailable, Hughes offers the EXP-MH-14K/350 Immersion heated 350 litre emergency tank shower. The integral immersion heater maintains water at a tepid temperature whilst a panic bar or optional foot panel allow instant activation.

You won’t need to worry about servicing; if you rent long-term, Hughes will service the emergency safety shower every six months, as per European and international standards, but recommends you perform weekly activation tests as per the installation and maintenance instructions attached to the unit.

Hughes will ensure swift delivery or there is the option to collect the units from Hughes' Stockport site. Visit: https://www.hughes-safety.com/hire/.
