Re: [DCHAS-L] Thoughts on some arguments against drains under safety showers
Disclaimer: My company. Safety Emporium, is both a Guardian Equipment and Justrite distributor.
Guardian Equipment also makes enclosed booths, however these are stainless steel units meant primarily for cleanroom applications:

Justrite also makes booth units:
https://www.justrite.com/safety-showers-eyewashes/indoor-emergency-safety-showers.html Ignore that fantastical list pricing on their site as you can get these through dealers considerably cheaper (contact me off list if you're curious about pricing or lead times). Note that some even include sump pumps, so excess water in the sump can be directed to an existing drain system, which means you can do these as retrofit installations without the hassle and expense of ripping up the floor to put in a new floor drain.
Hawes also has a booth system: https://www.hawsco.com/emergency-equipment/combination-units/8605wc-axion-msr-booth-enclosed-shower-and-eye-face-wash/
Finally, if you're designing your own building, you can think about building an alcove for your safety stations so you can put a simple shower curtain and rod across the front. Just make sure the alcove is wheelchair-accessible and has dimensions that meet ADA requirements. I suspect, however, that this last method is actually among the most expensive options!
