How close does a safety shower need to be to the hazard?

ANSI Z358.1 requires the unit to be reachable within 10 seconds and no more than 55 ft from the hazard, on the same level (no stairs), with a clear, unobstructed path.

How often do eyewash stations need to be tested?

Weekly activation testing is required to flush stagnant water from supply lines and verify operation. An annual full performance inspection by a qualified person is also required.

Can I order PPE online for a small business?

Yes. D2C orders welcome. Order safety glasses, hard hats, gloves, hi-vis vests, and first-aid kits direct from the site.

Do you provide inspection tags and signage?

Ask when you request the quote. Inspection tags come from the manufacturer or your service company rather than from us, and we quote the ANSI signage for emergency fixtures, eye protection, and hearing protection alongside the equipment. We confirm what a given line ships with before you order.

About Commercial Safety Equipment

Safety equipment is governed by OSHA 1910 (general industry) and a stack of ANSI consensus standards: Z358.1 for emergency eyewash and showers, Z87.1 for eye and face protection, Z89.1 for head protection, Z41 for foot protection. We quote the fixtures and PPE that meet those standards, from plumbed eyewash stations and tepid-water mixing valves down to bump caps, safety glasses, hi-vis vests, and first-aid kits.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. ANSI Z358.1 requires water between 60°F and 100°F. Cold tap water can cause hypothermia or shock during a 15-minute flush; hot water can scald. A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is the standard solution.
