Emergency Shower and Eye/Face Wash Compliance Services
On-site assessments to help you meet AS 4775 and WorkSafe NZ requirements for emergency decontamination facilities.
Emergency Shower & Eye/Face Wash Surveys
Stay Compliant. Be Prepared. Protect Your People.
Pivot Risk Solutions provides expert on-site assessments of emergency showers and eyewash stations, ensuring they meet the requirements of AS 4775:2007, ANSI Z358.1-2014, and WorkSafe NZ expectations.
These systems are vital for immediate decontamination in the event of chemical splashes or exposure to hazardous substances. But they only work if they are installed correctly, accessible, functional, and tested regularly.
Our assessments are tailored to your site, your risks, and your industry, with clear recommendations that support compliance and worker safety.
What’s Included In A Compliance Survey
-
We verify that emergency showers and eyewash stations are correctly positioned, clearly visible, and accessible within 10 seconds of a hazard.
-
Surveys include flow rate measurement, nozzle performance, and spray pattern checks to ensure equipment meets AS 4775 and ANSI Z358.1 standards.
-
We test activation levers, foot pedals, and flow duration to ensure units are easy to use and maintain uninterrupted operation.
-
Checks confirm that flushing fluid is delivered at a safe tepid temperature and sustains flow for at least 15 minutes, where required.
-
We assess whether appropriate safety signage is in place, lighting is sufficient, and access paths are free from physical obstructions.
-
Each survey includes a detailed report with findings, photos, and recommendations to support corrective action and documentation for audits.
Why Emergency Shower and Eyewash Compliance Matters
Emergency eyewash and shower systems are often overlooked until an incident occurs. Non-compliant units can result in serious injuries, regulatory breaches, or delays in critical first aid.
Our service ensures your emergency response equipment is ready to perform when it's needed most. It supports both your legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and your commitment to worker wellbeing.
