Pat, The ANSI standard for safety showers requires that they be within a few seconds of walking (not running) from any location in the lab room. this means in most cases that a shower in the hall would not comply with the standard. You folks have had enough trouble recently with respect to student injuries so that I would strongly recommend you put a safety shower IN each and ever laboratory room. And the same for eyewashes which the ANSI standard also covers. Jay A.
