Eyewash And Emergency Shower Signs
Eyewash and Emergency Shower Signs show that both emergency eye rinsing and emergency drench facilities are available at the same location, giving one clear first aid reference instead of two competing notices. Using ISO 7010 symbols E011 and E012, this combined format helps people recognise the right emergency wash point quickly.
Where Combined Eyewash And Shower Signs Work Best
Fit this sign where the emergency eyewash and safety shower are installed together, such as chemical handling rooms, plant spaces, laboratories, wash-down points and industrial treatment areas. Choose this combined format when one larger notice will guide people faster than separate signs competing for attention.
Viewing Distance Guidance For These Sizes
The 300 x 400 mm size suits viewing at around 8 to 12 metres or 26 to 39 feet, the 450 x 600 mm format works more comfortably from about 12 to 18 metres or 39 to 59 feet and the 600 x 800 mm sign is better suited to broader sight lines of roughly 18 to 24 metres or 59 to 79 feet.
What This Dual-Facility Sign Improves
Installed in the right position, this sign helps people recognise both emergency wash facilities at once, cuts visual clutter around treatment points and gives busier workplaces a stronger, more coherent first aid reference in one clear display.

Eyewash And Emergency Shower Sign Questions Answered
What is an Eyewash and Emergency Shower Sign? It is a combined first aid sign used where both the emergency eyewash and the safety shower are provided at the same location, giving one clear visual reference for both facilities.
What does the sign message mean? It tells the reader that both emergency eye rinsing and emergency drench facilities are available at that point. In practice, it saves time by reducing doubt about whether one or both wash options are present.
When should I choose a combined sign instead of separate signs? Choose this format when the eyewash and safety shower are installed together and one larger notice will communicate more clearly than separate signs competing in the same area.
Where does this type of sign work best? It works well in laboratories, plant rooms, process areas, chemical handling spaces, wash-down points and industrial environments where both emergency wash facilities are co-located.
When should this sign not be used on its own? Do not rely on it alone if the eyewash and safety shower are in different places, or where sight lines, corners or lower-light conditions mean extra signage is still needed to guide people in.
