Hughes design and manufacture emergency safety showers, eye/face wash units and decontamination equipment to provide you with a safer working environment, greater protection against serious injury and peace of mind that you are compliant with crucial safety standards.

“An ordinary shower or sink is not enough to achieve complete decontamination, especially in the event of an accidental spill or splash.”

A specifically-designed safety shower or eye/face wash is essential for effective decontamination in the event of an accident or to clean PPE prior to removal. Purchasing safety products can be a daunting and challenging task, particularly if your site or project requirements are unique. Luckily, when you partner with Hughes you have access to technical problem solvers and trusted advisors.

Guidelines often recommend the provision of ‘hygiene procedures’ or ‘washing facilities’ to ensure potentially harmful substances are removed before a worker moves on to another task or finishes work for the day. An ordinary shower or sink is not enough to achieve complete decontamination, especially in the event of an accidental spill or splash. Where a substance can cause harm or severe irritation to skin or eyes, the first 10 seconds following exposure is critical to minimise serious injury. It is imperative that a specifically designed safety shower or eye/face wash, that meets the recommended requirements of the European EN15454 or International ANSI Z358.1-2014 standards, is provided to effectively decontaminate in the event of an accident or to clean PPE prior to removal.

Whether you require a simple drench shower for indoor use, a freeze protected model for environments experiencing cold winters or a tank fed safety shower where a lack of a constant water supply or low water pressure is a consideration, we can deliver the most suitable model for your location. Perhaps you need a customised solution? Hughes have a dedicated team of mechanical, electrical and instrumentation engineers to deliver the most effective bespoke project solution. ■
