Emergency Showers & Eyewash Stations

When chemicals reach skin or eyes, the first sixty seconds decide the outcome — and this section covers the decontamination hardware that makes those seconds count. The range spans plumbed combination shower-and-eyewash units, fixed wall and pedestal mounted eye wash stations, portable gravity-fed and pressurised units for sites without plumbing, plus laboratory units, spare parts, thermal covers and signage.

It serves workshops handling solvents and acids, battery rooms, galvanising and plating lines, and remote sites where plumbed water is not available.

Where must an emergency eyewash be located?

Close enough to reach within seconds of exposure, on an unobstructed path — the working rule is that a person with compromised vision must find it without help. Put it near the hazard, keep the route clear, and signpost it with the station signs in this range. Remote corners of the site are what the portable units are for.
