Recently, the International Safety Equipment Association revised the Z358.1 standard to include a delivered water temperature range of 60 degrees to 100 degrees F. This range is to protect the victim from hypothermia on the lower end and eye tissue damage on the higher end. At this time, there has not been a study to determine the proper delivery temperature for specifi c hazards. Until this study is done, manufacturers and specifiers have chosen 80 degrees F as a base point for delivery temperature. As with all installations, a medical advisor should be consulted to determine the optimum delivery temperature.

With this acquisition, Benchmark Gensuite aims to enhance field safety operations by digitizing workflows and improving real-time risk mitigation for frontline workers.

The MGC Simple Plus is a simple-to-use, portable multi gas detector that runs continuously for three years without being recharged or routinely calibrated after its initial charge and calibration during manufacturing. The detector reliably tests a worksite’s atmosphere for hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and combustible gases (LEL). Its durability enables the detector to withstand the harshest treatment and environments, hence earning it an IP 68 rating. The MGC Simple Plus is also compatible with a variety of accessories, such as the GCT External Pump. Visit gascliptech.com for more information. Read More

Emergency showers and eye/face washes minimize the effects of exposure to hazardous materials by drenching the affected areas of the body with signifi- cant amounts of water. This serves the dual purpose of removing any remaining hazardous material and minimizing further injury.

We hope emergency equipment systems are never used but must make certain they deliver the maximum volume needed, safely and adequately.

The SwabTek® Cannabis Test Kit is a single-use spot test designed for use in screening for cannabis compounds in any sample type or on any surface. The test is capable of identifying the presumed presence of cannabinoids in very small quantities, with a level of detection as little as 6 μg in mass.

People's reaction to being hit with cold water has been used in comedy routines for many years. Providing it's not you being doused, it can be really funny. But cold water is no joke when used in emergency showers and eye/face washes. While a cold shower might be invigorating, it can be downright dangerous to run un-tempered or cold flushing fluid through industrial emergency equipment.

Another, more recent design challenge focuses on the effects of exposure to the high volumes of water used in eye/face washes and drench showers. Safety protocols call for at least 15 minutes of immediate and constant eye/face wash or shower use in response to exposure to hazardous materials. Exposure to domestic water temperatures in many areas of the country, when combined with the increased cooling effects of moving water passing over the body, can easily lead to hypothermia. Concern for worker safety has driven many companies to upgrade their emergency equipment to include tempered water. The use of "tepid" water easily allows for the full 15 minutes of eye/face wash or shower exposure required without risking hypothermia.

Through the years, the largest challenge faced by designers and specifying engineers has been providing ready access to emergency showers and eye/face washes. The basic design objective is to place emergency assets as close to potential accident sites as possible. This challenge becomes much more difficult in larger, more complex plants. More recent design configurations usually feature dispersed location of eye/ face washes and showers with centralized activation monitoring.
