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.
