Eyewash Station and Safety Shower

Emergency decontamination equipment includes safety showers, eyewash stations and other eyewash items that can help decontaminate staff if they have been exposed to hazardous substances or foreign objects.

Your need for an eyewash station and safety shower depends on the circumstances in your workplace. Some quantities of chemicals and dangerous goods classes require both an eyewash station and safety shower, while others may require just an eyewash station. We recommend consulting with the Australian Standards relevant to your site, as well as conducting an onsite risk assessment to determine any contamination hazards.

Storemasta offers a range of eyewash stations including options for either hand operated or foot operated models? Hand operated models can be found on over sink mounted eyewash stations, while the foot operated stations are free standing.

In Australia, the emergency decontamination equipment must meet the standards of AS 3780 . This includes the capabilities and construction of the equipment, as well as its usage, maintenance and location.

Install the equipment close to any areas that use open packages of dangerous goods or hazardous chemicals. The eyewash or emergency shower must be installed within 2 to 10 metres of the hazard.
