Introduction
Emergency safety body showers for sites other than laboratories are designed and intended to be
installed in close range of persons working in a potentially hazardous area exposed to the risk of burns
and/or hazardous chemical substances getting splashed onto all or part of the body.
The main purpose of these devices is to deliver immediately a flushing fluid in a volume sufficient to
extinguish flames and/or to flush the body following exposure to injurious substances or heat.
Once this is accomplished, the injured person can proceed to medical care.
