Supply Lines
Installaon procedures shall be in accordance with proper
plumbing pracces. Supply piping shall be adequately sized
to meet ow requirements. If shut o valves are installed
for maintenance purposes, provisions shall be made to
prevent unauthorised shut o.
Placement of Emergency Equipment
Emergency eyewash and shower equipment shall be
available for immediate use. It shall take no longer than
10 seconds for an individual to reach the nearest facility.
Factors that inuence the locaon of emergency facilies
include workplace lighng, obstrucons to the path of
travel and the work environment. It should be noted that
some situaons may warrant the placement of equipment
signicantly closer to the hazard. In these situaons, such
as exposure to highly corrosive chemicals, the proper
distances should be selected based on the advice from
appropriate consultants. For situaons such as exposure to
strong acids or alkalis, due consideraon needs to be given
to possible reacon between the ushing uid and the
chemical if the ushing uid enters a bulk container of the
chemical.
Flushing Fluid Temperature
Connuous and mely irrigaon of aected ssues for
the recommended irrigaon period are the principal factors
in providing rst aid treatment. Providing ushing uid
at temperatures conducive to use for the recommended
irrigaon period is considered an integral part of providing
suitable facilies. Medical recommendaons suggest a
ushing uid at tepid temperature be delivered to aected
chemically-injured ssue. Temperatures in excess of 38ºC
have proven to be harmful to the eyes and can enhance
chemical interacon with the eyes and skin. During design
and installaon, the eects of exposure of pipe to sun,
radiant heat or other heat sources should be considered,
and suitable control measures should be introduced
to avoid any risk of scalding. While cold ushing uid
temperature provide immediate cooling aer chemical
contact, prolonged exposure to cold uids aects the ability
to maintain adequate body temperature and can result
in the premature cessaon of rst aid treatment. Before
emergency eyewash and shower equipment is selected,
a risk assessment shall be carried out to determine the
most appropriate delivery temperature for the applicaon.
Means to ensure a constantly suitable delivery temperature
shall also be idened during selecon, so that equipment
can perform as desired once installed.
Installaon of emergency showers, eye and eye/face wash equipment shall be in accordance with AS/NZS4775-2007
or ANSI Standard Z358.1-2009 - whichever is applicable to the installaon. REFER to checksheet on pages 10 and 11.
