At home, a bathroom shower is the best substitute for a laboratory safety shower.
There are Standard for laboratory safety showers or emergency showers and eyewash equipment design, performance, use, and maintenance. A minimum water flow of 20 gallons (76 litres) per minute must be available for at least 15 minutes in an emergency safety shower. For 15 minutes, 0.4 gallons (1.5 litres) of water must flow at a minimum flow rate for eye washes. If the device is an eye and face wash in one, it needs to pump out 3 gallons (11.3 litres) of water every minute.
Thus laboratory safety showers ensures that there is enough water to dilute and flush away the chemical while preventing injury to the skin or eyes from excessive water velocity.
