What are the requirements for eyewash and shower equipment during installation?

The eyewash and shower equipment need to be carried out according to relevant rules when installing, mainly as follows:

1. Eyewash and shower equipment should be installed near the source of danger in the work place. According to the American ANSIZ358.1-2014 eyewash standard, it is best to install it within a radius of 15 meters from the source or reach it quickly within 10 seconds. As far as possible, colleagues should be installed on the same horizontal line with the ground to avoid no obstacles between the two, to ensure that they can be reached in a straight line and to avoid cross-level rescue.

2. Mark eye-catching signs around eye wash equipment and shower equipment. It is best to express clearly in both Chinese and English languages ​​and icons, and vividly tell the workers on the scene to clarify the location and purpose of the eyewash and shower equipment.

3. When the eyewash and shower equipment are in normal operation, each component should meet the requirements in the ANSIZ358.1-2014 eyewash standard, and each nozzle can be used independently at the same time. In the northern regions where there is a possibility of freezing in winter, it is necessary to add antifreeze devices to the equipment or install antifreeze protection facilities on the water inlet pipelines.

4. After the installation of eyewash and shower equipment is completed, the following requirements should also be met:

4.1. When the eyewash and shower equipment are properly connected to the water source and all on-off valves are closed, the connected pipes must not leak water.

4.2. When the operation switches of the eyewash and shower equipment are fully opened, all the on-off valves must be kept normally open, regardless of the factors considered.

4.3 When all the switches of the equipment are in full working condition, the entire equipment should be related to standards and requirements.
