Self-contained and resilient, emergency tank showers are suitable for all climates and locations, and often the simplest and most comprehensive way to stay compliant. But what sets the Hughes emergency tank shower apart from others on the market? We've started with ten reasons, but we could go on and on!
Work is already well underway in preparation for the phase-out of petrol vehicles across Europe. The UK Government announced a ban on the sales of new internal combustion engine (ICE) cars and vans - though the original date for this has been pushed back from 2030 to 2035.
Emergency tank-fed safety showers are essential, life-saving pieces of equipment to decontaminate a casualty in the event of a chemical spill. In remote environments, tank showers remain the preferred solution as they are self-contained and do not require a plumbed-in water source for a full decontamination. In extremely hot climates, the temperature of the water within the overhead tank can heat due to solar radiation, risking scalding for the user.
With chemical hazards present at every stage of vehicle production, coupled with a large workforce, the risk of a chemical spill or splash is high. The manufacture of a car, although largely automated, requires the use of numerous dangerous materials that workers can come into close proximity of.
Whisky production is an unavoidably time-consuming and expensive process, with some of the world’s most sought-after whiskies taking upwards of half a century to produce. The arduous investment will inevitably prove to be lucrative as fans of the drink can be willing to pay huge margins for older malts. Recently, a bottle of Macallan 1926 60-year-old single malt scotch sold for a record £1.5million.
Granite and other natural stones are a highly sought after material, for their various uses across many industries. From architecture and paving, to sculptures, and even home furnishings. Granite is a versatile natural stone used in the production of key infrastructures, such as roads, railways, bridges, and buildings. Natural stone has withstood the test of time as a construction material with buildings crafted in ancient times, such as the marble-crafted Roman Pantheon, still standing tall today.
Tepid water is defined as temperature-controlled water and is one of the requirements for safety equipment to adhere to international standards. For the water supplied by a safety shower to be compliant to ANSI standards this range must be between 16C to 38C (60F to 100F), and 15C to 37C (59F to 98F) for the European EN15154 standard.
The perfume industry continues to see significant growth, currently valued at £40.7 billion as of March 2022. France leads the global market share with 27% in total perfume exports followed by Spain and Germany. The manufacturing process for cologne and perfumes involves the delicate extraction and mixing of several compounds, some of which have high concentrations that can cause harm to workers if mishandled. Therefore, providing workers with the appropriate safety equipment in the event of an emergency is vital to prevent lasting harm.
