Placement,accessibility key to shower/eyewash requirements

摘要

How do I know how many emergency showers and eyewashes I need for my facility,and where to locate them? Are there any established volume requirements?There is no standard answer to these questions.ANSI does not provide equipment volumes or any standardized way to calculate your equipment need.Instead,ANSI Standard Z358.1 established the response requirements in terms of accessibility,recognizing possible diminished capabilities of an injured worker,and the maximum time it should take a victim to reach a shower and/or eyewash.
