Emergency showers are designed to flush the user's head and body. They should not be used to flush the user's eyes because the high rate or pressure of water flow could damage the eyes in some instances. Emergency showers should be installed near hazardous locations, that is, within 55 feet (16.5 m) or reachable in 10 seconds. The emergency shower should deliver a stream of water with a diameter of at least 50.8 cm (20 inches) when at 152.4 cm (60 inches) from the ground. This diameter ensures that the water will come into contact with the entire body - not just the top of the person's head. ANSI also recommends the shower head be between 208.3 and 243.8 cm (82-96 inches) from the floor. The minimum volume of spray should be 75.7 litres/minute (20 gallons/minute) for a minimum time of 15 minutes. The shower should also be designed so that it can be activated in less than 1 second and remains operational without the operator's hand on the handle. This valve should not be more than 173.3 cm (69 inches) in height.
