What is a body safety shower?

Body safety showers are used to extinguish and decontaminate people after accidents. They are just as suitable for use in laboratories and research as they are for rough use in industry. These safety showers are mandatory first aid facilities for workplaces where employees may come into contact with hazardous substances, acids, alkalis, heat, flames and also extreme dirt. The limited, uniform and above all soft water jet is optimized for rinsing off chemicals on the skin.

The body safety showers are equipped with the B-SAFETY high-performance shower head, which not only meets the specifications of ANSI Z358.1 and EN 15154, but is also self-draining, largely free of calcification and maintenance, and very robust and corrosion-resistant. The integrated automatic flow regulator ensures a standard-compliant spray pattern regardless of the water pressure on site. With the enclosed safety sign according to EN ISO 7010 and ASR A1.3, the B-SAFETY emergency shower is marked and visibility is improved. The viewing distance is 15 meters.

The polished stainless steel surface is not only resistant to many chemicals, but also offers a modern design for laboratories and clean rooms.
