There are some 3000 dangerous goods scheduled in the Australian Code. Whether they be acids, alkalis, solvents, waxes, peroxides, poisons or hot materials, they represent a risk, not only in fire situations, but in everyday handling, packing, transporting and using. Emergency showers are an essential adjunct to any handling or storing situation and they are called up in a number of Australian Standards. Showers are needed for decontamination, corrosive splash and burn victims. The examples are many.
