Safety Shower
Again, not every school will have one.
Shower should be used for
dire EMERGENCY
only!
If you (or a lab mate) is
ON FIRE
, position yourself (or your lab mate) under the safety shower.
Pull the handle—a deluge of water will result.
Flames will be rapidly extinguished.
But: there is probably no floor drain.
The safety shower should also be used if you suffer a
massive spill
of a
dangerous chemical
on yourself, and need to get it off rapidly.
However, in a high school laboratory, this will seldom be necessary.
