Emergency Showers & Eyewash

Emergency safety showers and eyewash stations give immediate decontamination after contact with hazardous chemicals, when the first seconds decide how serious the injury becomes. In hot climates the water must also stay at a safe temperature. Seven Star LLC, an independent supplier in Muscat, supplies emergency showers and eyewash equipment from Hughes Safety Showers and Speakman to oil and gas, chemical, laboratory and utility sites in Oman and the GCC.

Types of equipment in this category

Combination units bring a drench shower and an eye or eye/face wash together on one stand, with plumbed or self-contained versions. Hughes tank showers carry their own water supply in an insulated tank for remote sites without mains water. Tempered and cooled units, including Hughes designs for desert conditions, keep flushing water within the tepid range that the standards require, even where pipes are exposed to strong sun. Laboratory eyewash and face wash units from Speakman mount on benches or walls, and freeze-protected and explosion-proof versions serve hazardous areas. Portable eyewash and decontamination units cover temporary work areas.

How to select safety showers and eyewash

Check compliance with ANSI Z358.1 or EN 15154: flow rates, 15 minutes of tepid water, location within 10 seconds of the hazard and clear signage. Decide between plumbed, self-contained and tank units based on the water supply. In GCC conditions, plan for water heating from sun on exposed pipes and choose cooled or shaded designs. Consider hazardous area ratings, alarm and flow switches, materials for corrosive atmospheres and accessibility.
