Emergency showers, eyewashes and tepid water delivery systems are required to provide emergency treatment in preventing permanent eye and skin damage from accidental exposure to chemicals, biohazards or airborne debris.
In the absence of a uniquely Canadian standard for the design and placement of emergency eyewash and shower equipment, provincial authorities in all jurisdictions in Canada refer to the ANSI Z358.1-2014 standard for recommendations and enforcement regarding emergency eyewash and shower requirements.
TENAQUIP offers a comprehensive range of products and services to help comply with ANSI emergency shower and eyewash guidelines including site audits of existing or future installations to ensure compliance.
Emergency drenching fixtures must be readily accessible for use in manufacturing, laboratories, refineries, mines, construction sites and wherever workers may be accidentally splashed or sprayed with injurious solvents, acids, harmful particulates and, in some cases, biological hazards.
* Because of the limited quantity of fluid they contain, supplemental eyewash devices alone (such as bottled eyewash) cannot meet the 15 minute flushing requirements in the ANSI standard.
These should be used for initial first aid only to treat a patient during the path to certified eyewash. You should never substitute a fully compliant eyewash station with supplemental devices.
Safety flushing devices are not a substitute for primary personal protective devices such as proper eyewear and clothing. Chemical SDS' dictate proper first aid measures in case of accidental exposures.
Depending on site conditions and severity of the hazard, emergency eyewash and shower devices are found in various forms, including:
Designed to direct a fixed water source to the eyes, face, or body in emergencies

Pair-up eyewash with emergency showers when SDS calls for both eye and skin irrigation

Provide self-contained fluid where plumbed water is not available, usually in gravity-fed or pressurized units
To keep water stored in portable systems safe for ophthalmic use an antibacterial agent should be used

Designed for indoor environments where space is at a premium

Designed to meet ANSI standard Z358.1-2014 requirements to deliver “tepid” water to injured workers
Tepid water encourages a full 15-minute flush, and eliminates the risk of hypothermia from colder water. ANSI defines "tepid" water as 15.6°C to 38°C (60-100°F)
Shop Now
Includes all bottled or other eyewash devices that do not meet the 15-minute drench criteria of the ANSI standard
Designed to treat nuisance hazards and/or as an initial first aid during the path to a certified eyewash
Acceptable for immediate first aid, these should support, but not substitute, a primary eyewash or shower unit
