emergency shower

An emergency shower is a safety device designed to quickly rinse contaminants from a person's body in workplaces such as laboratories or chemical plants. When activated, it releases a strong flow of water over the affected area to wash away hazardous substances like chemicals or irritants. Typically located in areas with potential exposure risks, emergency showers are essential for minimizing injury or damage by providing immediate decontamination, helping to prevent further harm until medical assistance can be sought. Proper use and regular maintenance are vital to ensure they function effectively when needed.
