There is no need to worry about rinsate from showers. From the DCHAS archives:

Good Afternoon,
Once again the following concern has arisen: lab eyewash/safety shower units cannot drain with regular water due to possible contamination of the environment, e.g., if someone were washing off a sulfuric acid spill. Can someone provide a reference that this is (or is not) okay?
Thanks!
