What Industries Can Benefit From Mobile Emergency Safety Showers?

In work environments where it isn’t possible, or viable, to install a fixed emergency safety shower unit, mobile safety shower units make for a practical solution when it comes to risk mitigation. In some situations, a worksite is constantly changing and moving, so a mobile unit makes sense. In other locations, access to a steady water supply isn’t always possible, so a mobile safety shower presents an advantage over a fixed unit. Let’s take a look at some industries where mobile safety shower units can make for an effective PPE solution.


Mobile Emergency Safety Showers for Construction Sites


By their very nature, construction sites are constantly changing. This means that a fixed safety shower unit isn’t always practical, given the need to install, uninstall, move, and re-install. However, a mobile safety shower unit can easily be moved around the site, or even from site to site. This applies not only to building sites but road construction work and other infrastructure projects. Gaslines Ltd. can provide a mobile safety shower for hire for as long (or little) as your project requires one.


Mobile Emergency Safety Showers for Mining


Mining work is dangerous, with workers constantly at risk of exposure to harmful elements. Safety Showers are a must to have on-site, but it’s not always possible to effectively install a fixed safety shower unit in such locations. Once again, a mobile safety shower unit can be highly effective here, and can of course be moved around without the need to worry about constantly installing/removing/re-siting the safety shower unit.


Mobile Emergency Safety Showers for Water Treatment Facilities


Workers in water treatment facilities are at risk of exposure to harmful chemicals used in the treatment process, not to mention wastewater itself. It is essential to have access to a safety shower in these facilities, but a fixed unit isn’t always a viable solution. Mobile safety showers can be readily wheeled next to a hazard allowing quick access should emergency decontamination be required.


Mobile Emergency Safety Showers for Warehouses


When used to store potent chemicals and other harmful substances, warehouses can present a risk to employees working in them; one small spillage can spell disaster for those in close range. While a fixed emergency safety shower unit isn’t always feasible in warehouses, having a mobile safety shower on hand can be difference in preventing an injury escalating.
