Safety Showers 

What is it, what it does, and why do I need one? 

A safety shower is a piece of equipment that is designed to provide over 30 gallons of water per minute to a person that has spilled corrosive or toxic material on their body. The University requires that you have a safety shower within a reasonable distance of your laboratory and that you ensure that access to it is not blocked.
