In the conditions of real production, it is impossible to organize the technological process so that the values ​​of dangerous and harmful production factors affecting the workers are equal to zero. Therefore, there may always be risks of various injuries, including chemical burns.

In industries associated with constant work with chemically active and flammable liquids, it is necessary to use emergency showers and fountains that can provide direct washing of damaged areas of the body in the first seconds after an emergency.

Emergency showers and emergency fountains are first aid devices and are designed for emergency flushing of aggressive chemical substances in case of contact with the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes. Emergency showers can also be used in production facilities where clothes may ignite.

Emergency showers and fountains supplied by LLC ”Company IRIMEX” meet the requirements of Russian normative documents, the requirements of the norms of the European Community EN 15154-1, EN 15154-2 and American standard ANSI Z 358-1. The production where emergency showers and fountains are manufactured meets the requirements of the international quality standard ISO 9001.

Installation of emergency showers

Basic rule- emergency showers are installed as close to the workplace as possible. The shower should provide water immediately after the accident, preferably within the first five seconds. The shower must be installed in an easily accessible place, to which free access is constantly provided. When working in a one-person room, it is recommended to install a sound or light signaling that turns on when the shower is running.

The shower package includes stickers with symbols of the international alarm system, designed to be placed next to the shower, as well as instructions for installing and maintaining showers.

In industries where splashing water from a shower is unacceptable, emergency showers can be installed in special shower cabins, thereby avoiding disruption of the enterprise's technological process. In order to avoid damage and adverse effects on the emergency shower, in industries where transportation is carried out oversized cargo, it is recommended to install an enclosing protective frame.

Exploitation

The design of all emergency showers provides maximum ease of use. Sometimes it becomes necessary to use the shower by a person lying on the floor. For such cases, a full-body shower option with an extended hose is available upon request. When switched on, the emergency shower continues to work automatically, thus freeing the hands.

In eye wash models, the shower openings are protected by rubber cuffs, which protects the victim's eyes from accidental damage. The shower head is also protected from dirt and dust by protective caps that are automatically removed when the water is turned on.

Water pressure and temperature

Emergency showers are connected to a cold water supply system that provides a constant flow of clean water. For achievement best effect To ensure acceptable human comfort and at the same time avoid hypothermia (hyperthermia), the temperature should be maintained between 15 and 25 °C. The emergency eye showers are supplied with a FLOWFIX water control device which ensures a constant flow of water regardless of pressure.

HELL decoding This is an emergency shower. Why do we need emergency showers for the body and for the eyes?

Let's try to explain in an accessible language.

In enterprises and industries, there may be emergencies associated with the release of chemicals and human contact. by the most effective way help is an emergency shower, the faster a person rinses the affected area, the less negative impact on the body he will receive.

There are several types of emergency showers.

Emergency shower for eyes and face.

Emergency fountain for eyes and face, which is usually equipped with an additional pedal for activation (in the standard, activation occurs by pressing the hand on the “flag”) and a thermostatic mixer.

Consider the need for each option:

Pedal to activate emergency eye shower- in case of eye damage, a person running up to an emergency shower must open his eyes with his hands to rinse them, so his hands must be free and to ensure this, the emergency shower activation pedal is placed.

thermostatic mixer – this device mixes cold and hot water and dispensing water into the shower at a pre-set comfortable temperature.

One simple example:

Try to put your face under a stream of cold water and open your eyes at the same time. The result will be the same, you will get very unpleasant sensations, and a person with an affected area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe eyes or face will double all the stress.

Therefore, if it is possible to bring hot and cold water, then put a thermostatic mixer, this is not the case when you need to save.

Emergency shower refers to technical means collective protection. Another name is an emergency decontamination shower. Its purpose is the emergency removal (washing off) of chemically aggressive and other types of hazardous substances, microorganisms that, as a result of an accident, got on protective clothing, skin, mucous membranes of the eyes, and nasopharynx. Such showers are also installed in industrial premises (workshops) in which clothes can ignite.

Anti-corrosion protection

Since the emergency shower is installed in the immediate vicinity of the hazardous object, it is exposed to chemically active substances during operation. High reliability of the decontamination shower operation is ensured by the use of anti-corrosion protection of the structure. In particular, critical parts can be made of stainless steel, brass. Ferrous metals necessarily have a stable protective covering resistant to acidic, alkaline environments, salts, solvents, lubricants.
