Natural gas currently makes up about a quarter of the world’s energy provisions. In a global effort to reduce our carbon emissions, more and more countries are turning to liquefied natural gases (LNG) as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. LNGs emit 30% less carbon dioxide than oil and up to 60% less than traditional coal plants.
When it comes to workplace safety, guidelines around hazardous substances and decontamination can often lack clarity.
When the temperatures drop with the winter months most site managers won’t consider the effect on their emergency showers.
On average, approximately 100,000 flights take place globally each day, with over 90,000 of those being passenger flights.
The American National Standards Institute are responsible for the internationally recognised safety standard surrounding safety shower and eye/face wash equipment, and EN15154 as the European equivalent. Compliance to these standards is crucial to ensure your work site supplies the necessary equipment to aid a casualty in the event of a chemical spill and prevent any further harm from being caused.
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.
