  2. No. Safety showers required in areas where employees may be exposed to corrosive materials are to be maintained at ambient temperatures to allow for rapid drenching or flushing of the eyes and body in an emergency.
  3. All of the above
  4. No. If emergency treatment services are within reasonable proximity of the worksite an employer is not required to have a trained first-aid provider at the worksite.
