Q: What is a safety shower?
A: A safety shower, also known as an emergency shower or decontamination shower, is a specialized equipment used to provide immediate and continuous water flow to a person who has come into contact with hazardous substances. It is designed to quickly rinse off the chemical or hazardous material from the body to minimize the risk of injuries or further contamination.
Q: When should a safety shower be used?
A: Safety showers should be used in the following situations:

• Chemical spills or splashes: In the event of a chemical spill or splash on the body, immediate use of the safety shower is necessary to rinse off the hazardous substance.
• Eye exposure: If chemicals come into contact with the eyes, the safety shower should be used to flush the eyes and minimize the risk of eye damage or injuries.
• Contamination: If there is a risk of contamination on the body due to exposure to harmful substances, the safety shower can be used for decontamination.

• Quickly remove any clothing or protective equipment that may have been contaminated.
• Immediately move to the safety shower and stand under the showerhead, ensuring that the entire body is exposed to the water flow.
• Use your hands to help rinse off the affected areas thoroughly, paying attention to areas such as the face, eyes, and any exposed skin.
• Keep the eyes open and roll them around to ensure proper rinsing if there has been eye exposure.
• Continue rinsing for the recommended duration or as directed by safety protocols or medical personnel.
