This collection covers emergency safety showers and eyewash units for immediate decontamination when workers are exposed to hazardous chemicals or contaminants. The range covers combination shower/eyewash units, wall-mounted and free-standing showers, plus an audible and visual alarm kit to alert others when a unit is activated.
Combination units pair a full-body shower with eye and/or face wash bowls and, on some models, a foot treadle for hands-free activation, suiting laboratories, chemical stores and industrial processing areas.
What's included:
- Combination units: shower with eye & face wash, bowl and foot treadle; shower with eye wash, bowl and foot treadle; and shower with eye & face wash and bowl (no foot treadle)
- Standalone showers: wall mounted shower and free standing shower
- Alarms: shower audible and visual alarm kit to alert staff when a unit is in use
Use cases:
- Laboratories, chemical stores & manufacturing sites: handling corrosive or hazardous substances
- Facilities managers: supporting compliance with workplace chemical handling and emergency response requirements
- Sites needing rapid alert: audible/visual alarms integrated with shower activation for faster emergency response
FAQs
Where should an emergency safety shower be installed?
As a general rule, emergency showers should be located within close, unobstructed reach of areas where hazardous chemicals are handled or stored. Check AS4775 (Emergency eyewash and shower equipment) and your site's WHS risk assessment for exact placement requirements.
What's the difference between the combination units?
They vary in what's paired with the shower. Some include both eye and face wash plus a foot treadle for hands-free activation, others include eye wash only, and one omits the foot treadle. Choose based on the level of decontamination and activation method your site needs.
Do I need an alarm kit as well as a shower?
An audible and visual alarm kit is recommended so that when someone activates the shower, nearby staff are alerted immediately and can assist or call for help.
Is a wall-mounted or free-standing shower better for my site?
Wall-mounted units suit sites with suitable wall structure near the hazard point, while free-standing showers give more flexibility for placement where no wall is available. Both should be positioned for quick access.
