A chemical is said to be corrosive if it destroys or changes the structure of human tissue at the site of contact (irreversibly) after a certain amount of time has passed.

The Australian Standard states that emergency eyewash stations and safety showers must be installed within 10 metres, but no closer than 2m to the location where corrosive substances are used or stored. To help keep your workplace as compliant as possible, Spill Station not only offers these safety showers with eyewash stations combined, but we also offer optional extras that are designed to make using the safety equipment easier for you.

The Hughes Safety H-OPTI500 is a wall-mounted body, face and eye shower with a 45-degree angled double nozzle. It’s developed to suit extremely hazardous environments. This shower is designed to be used as a first flushing method before getting to a compliant safety unit or can be used when small hazards that don’t need a full unit, arise.

Safety showers are essential because they offer immediate decontamination, typically within the first ten to fifteen seconds of exposure to a hazardous substance. The showers make it possible for workers who are exposed to harmful substances to be cleaned up safely before getting secondary aid.

This safety shower sign is white printed on a vivid green background and is designed to be double-sided for wall mounting, and can also be mounted to the safety shower. These signs are required for full safety shower compliance and are made to last.

Safety showers are decontamination units made to wash the body of anyone who has been exposed to dangerous substances in a workplace.  The device flushes the individual with a lot of water to remove the debris from their body. The Australian Standard stipulates safety showers in addition to more specific guidelines regarding employee safety. These units are used in laboratories, for example, to prevent injuries, provide sufficient first aid, and protect workers' health and safety.
