Heated changing facility
July 1st 2009 Emergency shower manufacturers,
Showers & Eyebaths Services, has
developed an extension to its
artic emergency tank
shower unit that provides a
heated changing facility,
eight of which are being
retro fitted to tank showers
already in place in the
inhospitable oil fields of
Kazakhstan.
The company's
design satisfied the
requirement
identified by its
Italian distributor,
Eusebi Impianti, for
a worker not to
suffer further injury
in the form of
hypothermia should
they have to use an
emergency shower
in extreme cold.
Craig Yates, managing director of
Showers & Eyebaths said:
"Kazakhstan's climate is considered
severe with temperatures often
reaching down to minus 45°C.
"Our special arctic
shower units are
designed to withstand
such extreme
conditions but we
needed to go one step
further to protect a
user both during and
after decontamination.
The changing units are
heated inside, have
spring-loaded doors, for
quick and
immediate access
into the shower
area, and are lit both
inside."
"We have already
received feedback that the
changing facility is going to
be a welcome addition for the
added protection of the workers
out in Kazakhstan." More articles from Showers & Eyebaths Services Ltd: |
