Emergency Eyewash and Safety Shower Stations

never compromise on laboratory safety

Every laboratory working with chemicals, biological agents, or hazardous materials must be equipped with fully compliant emergency eyewash and safety shower stations. These essential safety features provide immediate decontamination in the event of accidental exposure, helping to minimise injury and protect staff.

An eyewash station allows for the rapid flushing of eyes following contact with harmful substances, reducing the risk of long-term damage. A safety shower offers full-body rinsing in the case of spills, splashes, or exposure to corrosive chemicals.

To ensure laboratory safety and regulatory compliance, these stations must be clearly marked, easily accessible, and maintained according to the latest health and safety standards.

Safety Concerns are our Main Priority

At InterFocus, our experienced team of designers and installers can fit emergency eyewash and shower stations to meet COSHH regulations for any laboratory environment. We value safety highly and want to ensure our solutions uphold all regulations and laws.

Whether your lab deals with hazardous chemicals or nanotechnology – you can be assured that our fittings will meet all necessary health and safety regulations while integrating seamlessly within any lab design and furniture.

Safety IS ALWAYS FACTORED INTO THE DESIGN

There are various types of eyewash stations and shower systems available to choose from. Our experienced team are on hand to advise you on which installations are best suited to your laboratory environment and the unique needs of your users.

Safety Showers

Our safety showers can wash the head and body should a lab user have greater exposure to the hazardous substance. The showers are typically high-pressure and consequently aren’t suitable for washing the eyes.

Instead, safety showers will usually facilitate lab users dealing with large quantities of hazardous materials or where they might have greater exposure.

Eyewash Stations

Our eyewash stations are designed to wash away chemicals or hazardous substances quickly and easily from a user’s eyes before they seek any further medical assistance necessary. Typically, it’s recommended that a user washes their eyes for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes before obtaining further treatment.

We’ve designed our eyewash stations to ensure maximum comfort, ease of use, and simplicity.

Eyewash bottles are also sometimes kept in labs, allowing the user to flush their eyes very quickly with water following an injury. However, these aren’t a suitable replacement for a proper eyewash station, where the user can safely and correctly wash their eyes for the minimum length of time required.

Drench Hoses

These allow the user to target a specific area on their body that was exposed to a hazardous substance. Drench hoses are a useful addition for users who cannot use a regular eyewash station or for instances where the eyewash station and shower station are unavailable.

For example, drench hoses might prove to be more helpful in large-capacity laboratories with more users.
