Safety showers are emergency stations that deliver a sudden deluge of water to drench someone who has been exposed to hazardous chemicals or caught fire.
Found in laboratories, industrial facilities, and anywhere dangerous substances are handled, they typically feature a large pull handle that activates an overhead spray: She pulled the safety shower lever immediately after the acid splashed her arm.
Eye wash stations are often located nearby.
