  First Aid

  An accident happens so very quickly! That is why it is important to have first aid attendants in the workplace. Like a paramedic or a rescuer, a first aid attendant needs a complete first aid kit. He or she may have to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), wrap a cut, treat a burn, remove a foreign object, etc.  Therefore, a first aid kit must be kept full and ready to use.

  Emergency Showers

  In this section, you will find product of emergency wash and rinse for your eyes, face and full body. Indeed, the 10 to 15 first seconds following an incidental exposure to hazardous substances are decisive for the health and safety of workers. Emergency showers and eyewash stations should always be part of your safety precautions because they provide on-the-spot decontamination by flushing away the substances to minimize the effects of accident exposure to chemicals. An emergency shower should always be chosen according to a set of factors:

  1. In areas at high risks for the eyes: an eyewash station should be installed in the premises and easily accessible in 10 seconds. This apparatus features a nozzle with sprayheads allowing a precise rinsing stream directed in the eyes.

  2. In areas at high risks for the eyes and the face: it is recommended to install a facial wash station. This apparatus features a larger nozzle for a stronger stream allowing one to rinse thoroughly both eyes and face.

  3. In areas at high risks for the eyes or face and the body: it is recommended to opt for a combination fixture. This type of apparatus features a shower head that rinses the body and eye/face wash station for a complete washdown.

  Furthermore, you should consider the environment where the emergency shower will be installed. Beware in particular of any risk of freezing or the presence of corrosive vapors. You may also need to install an alarm to alert rescuers when an emergency shower is activated.

  Here are the equipment offered at Sylprotec:

  Building Evacuation Kits

  Sylprotec has developed a range of emergency evacuation kits for buildings. A building manager must provide essential supplies to floor managers in order for them to carry out their responsibilities in case of emergency. Indeed, when the emergency alarm rings, floor managers must be visible and able to signal and lead the crowd in order to fulfill their evacuation management tasks. In that eventuality, a well-equipped evacuation kit can save precious time.

  There are various emergencies that need to be taken into account when preparing an evacuation plan:

  • Fires
  • Bomb threats
  • Chemical or oil spills
  • Hostile intruders potentially armed

  Our evacuation kits include a first aid kit, an explosion-proof flashlight, a traffic vest and a whistle or a megaphone.

  Do not hesitate to contact Sylprotec for further details or for advice.
