Temperature Controlled Safety Showers To Ensure Tepid Water Provisions
The most frequently asked questions about the Hughes temperature controlled safety shower
On industrial sites without a reliable hot water source, the provision of plumbed-in safety showers and eye/face washes able to provide tepid water can be challenging. International standards stipulate that safety equipment must provide tepid water, defined as between 16C and 38C, to prevent further injury in the event of a chemical spill and to prevent the casualty from pulling away from the flow of water before completing a full 15-minute decontamination.
Add to this the complexity of the decontamination process for chemicals such as ammonia, which require a set temperature of 25C to 30C to mitigate burns, and the safety shower options become limited.
The solution? The Hughes temperature-controlled safety shower (STD-TC-100KS/45G).
