Haver a look at the australian standard for laboratory design. Not sure what number series it is (although 1426 rings a bell) I'll hunt mine out when I have a minute.

Or you could ask a local school in Port Macquarie who had the chemstore refurbished - her new shower is an old tap, right beside the acids shelf, with a drain on the floor. Yes, a normal, down on the floor, tap. If the Lab Assistant splashed chemical on her face, she would literally have to lie on her back, on the floor and reach up to turn the tap on herself!!
Officially, that is her new safety shower!!
