H & R fire and Safety launches new Web Site.

April 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Cartersville, Atlanta, Georgia - EmergencyESS a division of H & R Fire and Safety Inc. has the answers you're looking for when it comes to Emergency Eyewash and Shower questions.  Proper operation of an Emergency Eyewash or Shower station is critical following an accident. Laboratories, Chemical Plants, Schools, Hospitals, and even some Office Complexes are equipped with emergency eyewash and shower facilities to save individuals from what could be the painful and even catastrophic consequences of eye or skin trauma.  OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Regulation 1910.151 realizes the importance of emergency stations and the need to make sure that they are checked on a regular basis meeting certain criteria. They will often refer to the ANSI or (American National Standards Institute) Z358.1  2009 standard for requirements that all portable, self-contained, and plumbed eye, face, and shower stations must meet. This standard includes but is not limited to construction, testing, location, flow rates, water temperature, and regular maintenance of these emergency stations.
Water PH levels, as well as microbial counts are also items to be taken into consideration when maintaining emergency eyewash, face wash, and shower stations. As an employer, it is your responsibility to make sure these guidelines are followed. Properly functioning emergency eyewash and shower stations can help save employees from loss of sight or serious skin injury, and save the company from Federal fines.  The consequences of not having properly maintained equipment could be devastating for both the employer and the employee.
EmergencyESS a division of H&R Fire and Safety has trained and certified personnel with the proper equipment to test flow rates, water temperatures, PH levels, and has access to repair and replacement parts if needed. Protect your employees and your company by insuring that your emergency eyewash and shower stations are operating properly and OSHA compliant.
