Choosing the Right Safety Shower System for Your Site Layout

Every facility has different risks—but the same compliance expectations. Choosing the right type of emergency safety shower isn’t just about box-ticking—it’s about real-world protection.

Here’s how to select the right system based on your site layout, risk level, and environmental conditions.

1. Fixed Plumbed Systems (Indoor or Outdoor)

Best for: Warehouses, workshops, indoor production lines

  • Floor-mounted or wall-mounted

  • Plumbed to existing water supply

  • Simple, low-maintenance

  • Often paired with a closed bowl eyewash

2. Tank-Fed Safety Showers (Outdoor/Remote Use)

Best for: Chemical storage, yard-based workstations, desert projects

  • 1500L capacity

  • With or without chillers for tepid water

  • ATEX-rated options available

  • Self-draining pipework helps prevent stagnant water

3. Mobile & Trailer-Mounted Showers

Best for: Temporary jobsites, shutdowns, and oilfield operations

  • No plumbing or power required

  • Towable or forklift-ready

  • Integrated eye/face wash optional

  • Available with chilled tanks for Gulf summer use
