Benefits of technology

[0009]In certain embodiments, a portable emergency unit comprises an eyewash and shower station coupled to a chassis. A water tank and a pump are coupled to the chassis and are in fluid communication with the eyewash and shower station so that the pump is operable to supply water from the water tank to the eyewash and shower station when the eyewash and shower station is activated. A temperature control system is also coupled to the chassis and is in fluid communication with the water tank. The temperature control system is operable to maintain the temperature of water stored in the water tank within a predetermined ra8 nge.
[0010]In other embodiments, a portable emergency unit comprises an eyewash and shower station coupled to a chassis. A water tank and a pump are coupled to the chassis and are in fluid communication with the eyewash and shower station so that the pump is operable to supply water from the water tank to the eyewash and shower station. A temperature control system is coupled to the chassis and in fluid communication with said water tank. A control unit is also coupled to ...

Problems solved by technology

In many circumstances, it is impractical to have an eyewash and shower station installed close to every hazard, especially when those hazards may be temporary in nature.
Portable eyewash and shower stations are available but are not without their own limitations.
Many portable eyewash and shower stations have limited capabilities for delivering required fluid pressure and volumes.
Those systems that can provide required fluid pressure and volumes tend to be large and heavy.
Thus, moving a conventional portable unit from location to location creates several hazards.
