Reliable and inexpensive safety shower monitoring
Supplied by Emerson Process Management on Monday, 20 October, 2014
Safety showers and eyewash stations are used in a variety of industries where corrosive or injurious chemicals are manipulated as well as where operations involve the use of air- or water-reactive liquids.
Traditionally alarms were used when a safety shower or an eyewash station was triggered in the hope that there will be a person nearby to respond to the emergency.
However, a new wireless technology solution will ensure that this alert also reaches the control room without the need for additional cabling and power supply, providing greater opportunity for the appropriate emergency response.
