emergency shower
Chemical spill rinse
An emergency shower is a safety fixture designed to drench a person who has been exposed to hazardous chemicals, fire, or other dangerous substances.
Typically mounted in laboratories, industrial facilities, and chemical plants, it delivers a large volume of water quickly to flush contaminants from skin and clothing.
Most are activated by pulling a handle or chain: She pulled the emergency shower lever after the acid splashed her arm.
