Splash & Draft Shields
Splash guards and workstation dividers are essential safety and organizational fixtures used in laboratories. Splash guards are protective barriers designed to prevent liquids, chemicals, or other hazardous materials from splashing outside of a designated work area. They are often used around sinks, workbenches, or areas where tasks involve liquids. Splash guards help protect personnel from accidental exposure to harmful substances, maintaining a safer environment. Workstation dividers are partitions used to separate individual lab stations or work areas. Certain workstation dividers also double as splash guards, which helps improve workspace organization and minimizes cross-contamination between workstations. Both are also effective for minimizing drafts, which is important when working with sensitive equipment like lab balances and other instruments. Workstation dividers and splash guards are commonly made from materials that are easy to clean, such as acrylic or plastic, and can be adjusted to fit the size and layout of your laboratory.
