Emergency Safety Showers
Intertec has launched a range of enclosed Emergency Safety Showers for use in harsh outdoor environments. The emergency safety showers (ESSs) are integrated into shelters made from advanced composite GRP materials to optimize them for durability and long life. The exterior faces of the insulated shelters are 100% GRP (glass reinforced polyester) with an advanced UV-resistant gel-coat surface. Key application areas include oil, gas, chemical and petrochemical processing plants sited in Arctic or desert regions, offshore platforms and vessels, and harsh coastal locations. Two main shelter options are available, with enclosed square or rectangular shaped ESS showers of 122 x 122 or 122 x 244 cm (4 x 4 or 4 x 8 feet). The square format is ideal for outfitting as an emergency shower and eyewash station that can draw tempered water from a locally available source. The larger rectangular ESS provides additional space to accommodate a water storage tank and heating facilities.
The exterior of the shelters can be white (RAL9016) or yellow (RAL1016), and come with safety decals directing the user to the double-acting spring hinged doors. These crash doors include weather strips to maintain the best possible seal against wind, rain and snow. Many further outfitting options may be selected to suit particular application requirements. These include a choice of piping materials, drain locations, tank sizes, control and safety valves. Electrical options include variants for general purpose use or in Class 1 Division 1 or 2 hazardous areas with alarm options, internal heating, and more. Custom shelter sizes and designs are also available, and Intertec can vary the composite layered construction of the panels used to optimize shelters for the most extreme climate and application conditions. All Intertec ESS units meet ANSI Z358.1 2014 and OSHA standards.
