For additional details on safety showers, see some of the most common questions below:
If your workplace actively stores or handles hazardous chemicals, OSHA legally mandates installing ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 compliant safety showers within 10 seconds access of potential exposure areas. Call Mid America Exteriors for an assessment on equipping your site with suitable emergency wash stations to avoid regulatory fines.
ANSI standards require positioning emergency wash equipment with immediate accessibility within 10 seconds, unobstructed, on the same level as the hazard. During new installations, we evaluate your unique floorplan to place units as close as feasible to corrosive chemical handling points while still meeting base regulations. Proper location ensures rapid emergency access.
OSHA compliant safety equipment relies on an independent water supply providing adequate tepid temperature between 60-100°F. This requires specialized activation valves on dedicated plumbing linesseparate from other fixtures to guarantee sufficient GPM water flow isavailable when the emergency wash stations are activated. Our team handles all necessary plumbing considerations tailored to your floorplan during new installations and retrofits.
ANSI Z358.1 guidelines explicitly set standards for tepid, potable water between 60-100 degrees Fahrenheit. Water too hot or too cold can make exposure injuries worse or cause additional harm. We calibrate all installations accordingly and design equipment suited to maintain necessary GPM flow rates across this temperature range for your facility.
All safety showers and eye/face wash units must provide streams of water to adequately flush contaminants and harsh chemicals from potential areas of exposure on eyes, face, and body. Specific requirements per ANSI include:
Safety Showers
Eye / Face Wash Units
During new safety shower installations, replacements, or refurbishments, we verify full coverage across necessary zones and check gallons per minute output meet all codes.
Improperly maintained safety showers develop issues over years of use causing eventual failures to meet ANSI and OSHA mandates. Common deficiencies include:
Mid America Exteriors diagnoses all issues and provides necessary repairs, renovations, upgrades, and maintenance to restore showers back up to compliance. Stay proactive with our detailed inspection services every 6 months. For emergency safety shower failures, call (316) 265-5444 for rapid response and resolution.
OSHA mandates flushing all facility safety showers weekly to clear any sediment buildup and verify proper operation between annual or bi-annual inspections. Test activation ensures water lines stay free of any corrosion and confirms sufficient flow if units need to be used for real emergencies involving chemical splashes. Contact Mid America Exteriors to discuss adding weekly tests of your showers and washes into standard operating procedures.
In the event of an actual acid, alkaline, solvent, or other hazardous chemical spill requiring emergency use of safety showers or eyewashes, follow protocols to immediately dial 911 after helping the exposed individual utilize the stations. Report the occurrence to your facilities manager and safety officer even if injury seems minimal so incident paperwork can be filed. Finally, contact Mid America Exteriors at (316) 265-5444 to assess equipment functionality following emergency usage events.
