Good Morning
Our company has just added a new bit of plant to the back of our existing building and I have to carry out a risk assessment to help decide the need for an emergency shower. I just wondered if anyone had any assessments for emergency showers that I could have a look at to give me a starting point on what things I should be considering.
Thanks

Good evening Caro
Could you provide a little more info about the substance[s] that appear to require the emergency shower to be installed? It would help us to provide more focussed responses.
Feel free to contact me direct if you wish to discuss the actual emergency procedures and training that you should also have in place.

I was involved in a recent (8 months ago) installation of new safety showers. The company that put it in made it a dry shower i.e. no water in the pipes etc. until the lever was pulled and them the mains supply kicked in. This took away any concern we had about Legionnela Bacteria or stagnant water.

Thanks for the replies. The new plant will be used for blending disinfectants as well as filling formaldehyde from bulk. We have several existing emergency showers but none are particularly close to the new plant. I believe the risk associated more than justifies an additional shower. However due to it's required location insulation and localised heating would be required and this obviously raises the costs. I have not looked into the dry shower idea and will see how this would compare.
Any further advice appreciated.
