Bodily exposure to hazardous materials (HAZMATs) can cause severe injury, as well as possible blindness if the eyes are exposed. Each HAZMAT workplace must have decontamination equipment, including a safety shower and eye wash. This training course effectively prepares employees working with or around hazardous materials how to use decontamination equipment in an emergency.

This course demonstrates how to use a safety shower and eye wash. It also discusses situations for when to use each one. Viewers learn how OSHA and ANSI standards helped design the decontamination equipment. Lastly, the course explores the protocol for what happens after decontamination.

In an emergency, workers may need to use a safety shower or eye wash to dilute and flush HAZMATs away. It is important to stay calm and remember your training. Use this course to help your employees reduce hazards and keep themselves and each other safe every day.
