Safety Showers and Eye Wash Stations
Decontamination Systems for Quick Response
In industrial environments that regularly handle acids, caustics, or other hazardous chemicals, the first 15 seconds after exposure are the most critical. When splashing occurs, immediate irrigation is the only way to minimize permanent damage or serious injury. At Cross Company’s Process Solutions group, we provide reliable emergency showers and eye/face wash stations designed to provide that first line of defense.
Through our partnership with Hughes, a leader in emergency safety equipment with over 50 years of expertise, we can provide solutions beyond simple plumbing. From self-contained tank-fed units for remote sites to temperature-controlled showers for extreme climates, we offer safety systems designed to provide reliable, steady flow of tepid water when every second counts.
Safety Showers
Eye Wash Stations
Safety Showers
Corrosion Resistance – Units are available in stainless steel or high-visibility, chemically resistant polymers, ensuring longevity in aggressive chemical processing environments.
Nozzle Design – Specialized eye/face wash diffusers provide a gentle, aerated flow that effectively “scrubs” contaminants from the face without causing further trauma.
Ease of Maintenance – Designed for the required weekly activation tests, Hughes units feature accessible valves and robust linkages that resist seizing over long periods of inactivity.
Indoor Safety Shower Units
For facilities with existing infrastructure, we can provide wall, ceiling, and floor-standing units. These range from simple drench showers to multi-nozzle body spray systems, all featuring high-performance valves that remain open until intentionally closed, allowing the user to use their hands for irrigation.
- Tank fed
- Plumbed-in – unheated
- Plumbed-in – temperature controlled
Outdoor Safety Shower Units
It can be a challenge to maintain tepid water in outdoor settings or environments with significant hot or cold temperature extremes. Whatever the challenges of your environment, we can provide an outdoor emergency safety shower that works for your plant. From cold climates showers with integrated immersion heaters to hot climate models that can be equipped with chiller units, we can help.
- For cold climates
- For hot climates
- Temperature controlled
Eye Wash Stations
Eye wash stations designed to meet ANSI Z358.1-2014 standards and maintain compliance with OSHA regulations. These stations are quick and easy to operate no matter the location. They contain diffusers to guarantee a gentle aerated water flow, washing eyes/face for up to 15 minutes. Built to withstand tough environments, indoors, and outdoors.
