What are the key features of a compliant emergency shower?
A compliant emergency shower must meet specific criteria to ensure effectiveness. Key features include a continuous flow of tepid water (60-100°F or 16-38°C), a flow rate of at least 20 gallons per minute, and hands-free operation to allow the user to use both hands for decontamination. Additionally, the shower should be clearly marked and easily accessible in case of an emergency.
