Enware hand-held eyewash and body spray gives quick response to hazard spills

A new hand-held eyewash and body spray has been introduced by Enware Australia to provide quick response to spills of hazardous substances, including acid and alkalis. Features of the EL485 hand-held eyewash and body spray include:

• Dual outlets with stay-open ball valve activation that allows for hands-free flushing of eyes in industrial commercial and educational applications, particularly laboratories
• The easily accessible EL485 hand held eye wash is supplied with a wall bracket to facilitate installation at the correct height for compliance with ANSI Z358.1 and AS4775 as a primary eyewash station
• The hand-held eyewash comes complete with a 1.5 m high quality nylon recoil hose offering flexibility for washing incidental spills from the body without the need to get under a complete shower
• Whilst this model does not remove the need for an emergency shower where required, it provides extra flexibility

“Locating easily used supplementary eyewash and body spray equipment near workplace hazard locations is good risk management in industrial, commercial and educational situations,” says Enware Australia Managing Director Paul Degnan. “Where hazardous substances make contact with the human eye and delicate tissue, damage can be immediate and response time is critical”. Location guidelines are provided in the Australian Standard AS4775 for emergency eyewash and shower equipment.

The new eyewash and body spray complements Enware’s broader range of safety shower, eyewash and emergency decontamination equipment, providing easily accessible and quickly usable hazard reduction.
