About Emergency Safety Showers
ANSI Z358.1 drench showers and combination eyewash + shower units for whole-body chemical exposure.
Emergency safety showers (drench showers) provide whole-body decontamination for workers exposed to corrosive chemicals or other injurious materials. ANSI Z358.1 requires 20 GPM minimum for 15 minutes at 60–100°F tepid water, located within 10 seconds / 55 ft of the hazard. We quote standalone drench showers, combination eyewash + shower units, and the tepid water mixing valves and freeze-protection enclosures needed for code-compliant installation.

Emergency Safety Showers: common questions
Where both whole-body and eye exposure are possible, ANSI Z358.1 requires both functions to be available within the 10-second / 55-ft reach. Combination units are the most common solution: single fixture, single drain, single TMV serving both. Separate fixtures are still used in larger labs where workstations are spread out.
