Is your emergency shower offering COLD comfort? Dalton International explains the importance of meeting relevant Standards that stipulate tepid water delivery.
mergency showers and eyewashes offer critical first response for any business that stores or uses hazardous substances. In the event of a chemical emergency where corrosive or toxic substances splash onto someone’s face or body, the person needs to be able to reach an emergency shower or eyewash within 10 seconds and flush the affected area for at least 15 minutes. A rapid response to chemical splashes to the face and body with a deluge of water from an emergency shower and eyewash that meets the appropriate performance standards can be the difference between a close escape or permanent damage and disability. But what happens if the water coming out of your emergency shower and eyewash is so cold you can’t stay under it?
