[labnetwork] safety shower kit

[Vito Logiudice]

Hi Iulian,

If it can help we recently placed the following fire blankets at each shower:
https://ca.vwr.com/store/product/en/8879041/fire-blanket-fiberglass-4x4ft


The woven glass fiber material is quite sturdy and feels like it would not generate too much contamination should it ever have to be used.

Best,
Vito
