In certain high-risk industrial environments such as chemical plants and water treatment facilities ensuring workplace safety isn’t just about managing daily tasks, it’s about preparing for the worst-case scenario. When a worker is splashed with chemicals, acids, or toxic compounds every second counts. Site safety regulations state that an injured worker must have access to a decontamination unit rapidly and with no obstructions. However, there are certain outside factors th

Working in a high risk environment like chemical processing, laboratories, or manufacturing means that personal protective equipment is only your first line of defence. If a serious accident were to happen, like a chemical splash, the employees safety and compliance of the site would depend entirely on the use of an emergency safety shower. In this article we are shining the spotlight on the Hughes Safety EXP-18GS/45G Indoor Unheated Combination Safety Shower. Link to data sh

Work accidents can happen at any time to anyone. Chemicals can splash, pipes can burst, or fine dust can cloud a room, and when these incidents occur there is no time to think. If there is no eyewash station within arm’s reach of the worker these accidents can quickly become life altering injuries. At Gaslines Ltd. we have years of experience supplying top of the range Hughes Safety Shower eyewash products across the pharma, construction, manufacturing, and engineering secto

Many industries require an emergency safety shower on-site to be fully compliant with safety regulations. But let’s be honest, purchasing and installing such an expensive piece of equipment for a temporary project seems like overkill. However, safety is never optional. Whether you are handling chemicals or working with cement, you need a way to ensure your complete safety on-site. That is where safety shower hiring comes in and by utilizing industry-leading Hughes Safety Sho

The Hughes STD-TC-100KS/45G is a temperature controlled safety shower with eye/face wash unit for when hot water supply is not readily available. The integrated heated water tank holds 300 litres and can deliver 15 minutes of water within the “tepid” range, meeting the EN (15-37°C/ 59-88°F) and ANSI (16-38°C/ 60-100°F) recommendations. This means that unlike standard showers who rely on the building’s water temperature, the STD-TC-100KS/45G can provide the heated water indepe

"Does my business need a safety shower?". We often get asked this question. Emergency safety showers, or decontamination showers as they’re also known, are vital protective equipment across many industries.

It is a requirement that safety showers are placed within 20m reach of a hazard, and that they can be accessed within 10 seconds.

By activating your emergency shower(s) once a week, you’re effectively flushing the pipework, which prevents sediment and blockages from building up. It also mitigates the risk of Legionella developing.

They may seem harmless, but data centres can pose significant risks to workers just as chemical plants and construction sites can. An emergency safety shower and eyewash unit is an essential piece of equipment that anyone involved in planning or operating a data centre needs to consider.

When it comes to airborne hazards on construction sites, having an emergency safety shower on your construction site is an essential requirement in many cases.

In situations where water supplies to fixed shower units are disconnected, hiring in a mobile safety shower bowser unit is an ideal solution. Businesses need only hire the safety shower unit for the duration of their shutdown.

Decontamination showers are essential, potentially lifesaving pieces of equipment for many industries. It is important, therefore, to make sure that your site meets the water requirements for such showers, in order for effective decontamination to take place.

When conducting a risk assessment to establish whether or not your worksite requires the presence of emergency safety showers and/or eye wash equipment, you should pose the question: Are there hazardous substances in use? Do they pose a risk to the eyes and/or skin? If so, they will require immediate rinsing, and you should have appropriate eye wash and decontamination showers present on site.

There are two key standards which govern decontamination showers (also known as emergency safety showers): the European Standard, EN15154, and that of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ANSI Z358.1-2014 (this is internationally recognised). Business owners, facility managers, and safety officers need to be mindful of these standards and what they require, if they have a decontamination shower on site.

In some work environments, a fixed shower unit isn’t always practical, and mobile safety shower units are a must. This article will take a look at some industries where mobile safety shower units offer a practical safety solution.

When not regularly activated or maintained, safety showers can pose the risk spreading legionella to users.
