Safety showers should be placed in a consistent location throughout the laboratory
building and provided with highly visible “Safety Shower” signs to facilitate occupant’s
awareness of their location. Showers with pull down bars are preferred over chain pulls.
The installation of drains beneath safety showers is preferable.
ANSI-approved eyewash facilities shall be provided in at least one sink in each
laboratory or work area (i.e., shop areas, mechanical rooms, etc.) if substances used
there are known to present a potential eye hazard. The project team should work with
OEHS and the customer to ensure that sink functions that will occur in the laboratory do
not obscure the presence of the eyewash fountain or obstruct access.
