Laboratory Safety Stations – All-in-One Emergency Response Solutions
Integrated Emergency Readiness
Laboratory Safety Stations combine emergency eyewash, safety shower, and sometimes drench hose units—offering a unified, user-friendly solution for chemical or thermal exposure incidents in labs .
ANSI-Compliant Features You Can Trust
- Stations are engineered to comply with ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 standards and OSHA requirements, ensuring ready access to flushing facilities within 10 seconds or approximately 55 feet, with clear, unobstructed pathways .
- They deliver consistent, tepid water flow for a minimum of 15 minutes, enabling effective decontamination and first aid response .
Multiple Designs for Diverse Needs
- Common formats include combination units that integrate shower and eyewash components, wall-mounted bowls, deck-mounted or countertop units, and freestanding emergency stands—all customizable for labs with limited space or high traffic .
- Drench hoses may also be incorporated to target hard-to-reach areas, serving as a supplemental tool for full-body wash‑downs.
Design for Safety and Performance
- All components are built to be hands-free, with fail-safe activation that stays open until manually closed, ensuring hands remain available for decontamination .
- Water is maintained within a safe, tepid range (60–100 °F) to prevent thermal shock during emergency use.
- Units are designed with high visibility signage and lighting, ensuring users can locate and activate them quickly during emergencies .
Maintenance & Training Essentials
- Weekly activation tests are required to ensure reliable function and clear flow—inspections should be documented for compliance tracking .
- Training is crucial: Lab users must know the location, operation, and safe use of Safety Stations to minimize response time during incidents
Laboratory Safety Stations are indispensable for maintaining emergency preparedness in research and educational labs. They offer fast, effective protection when seconds matter most.
