Safety Showers

Adverse consequence:  Death or severe injury due to inability to rinse corrosive or toxic chemicals from the body

Corrective action: Have your Department Administrator contact Facilities Management at (410) 706-7570 to have the safety shower tested. Safety shower inspection logs must be maintained at or near the site of the shower. Several vendors provide pre-printed tags for this purpose. (i.e.- http://www.labsafety.com, Item # 34023T)
