Emergency Eyewash & Shower Equipment

Wireless Monitoring
Typical Installations
Legal Requirements (OSHA)
The General Requirements in section 29 CFR
1910.151 states:

where the eyes or body of any person may
be exposed to injurious corrosive materials,
suitable facilities for quick drenching or
flushing of the eyes and body shall be
provided within the work area for immediate
emergency use.

The OSHA requirement is vague when
defining suitable facilities.



ANSI Z358.1 is a common reference point

Considered a voluntary standard

Accepted international standard
ANSI Z358.1-2009
This standard is intended to provide uniform
minimum requirements for the performance,
use, installation, test procedures, maintenance
and training of emergency eyewash and
shower equipment.

ANSI Z358.1-2009
Purpose
ANSI Z358.1-2009
4.6.2
Plumbed emergency showers shall be
activated weekly for a period long enough to
verify operation and ensure that flushing fluid
is available.

6.5.2
Plumbed eye/face washes shall be activated
weekly for a period long enough to verify
operation and ensure that flushing fluid is
available.


Key Requirements
ANSI Z358.1-2009
Why Do The Weekly Flush?
Ensures there is a flushing fluid supply

Clears the supply line of sediment build up

Minimize microbial contamination due to
stagnant water







ANSI Z358.1-2009
4.5.6 & 5.4.6
Deliver tepid flushing fluid
Tepid defined as:
A flushing fluid temperature conducive to
promoting a minimum 15 minute irrigation
period. A suitable range is 16 38 C
(60 100F).

from freezing or freeze-protected equipment
shall be installed.


Potential Applications For Wireless
SureCross


Sensor detecting chain pulled

Safety mat

Foot pedal

Hand switch



Potential Applications
Monitor Station Activation
Typically a Discrete Input

Monitor water valve is opened

Monitor heat tape on units located where
freezing could occur

Monitor temperature of water flow

Potential Applications
Monitor Station I/O
Typically a Discrete Input & Temperature
Simple applications may only require a local
alarm (EZ-Light with Alarm)

A marquee with alarm located above the work
cell could provide local annunciation and
warning

Information could be sent to a security/central
location


Potential Applications
Alarm/Notification
Information
Collected/Monitored
Station Name
Red indicates no RF link,
Green=OK
Yellow indicates weekly flush not
completed, Green=OK
Red indicates location had defective heat
tape, Green=OK
Red indicates location activated,
Green=OK
Data collection system could time and
date stamp when a station is flushed
via a sensor (input) on the water valve.
