An integrated columnar structure is connected to hot and cold water supplies. On the structure is separately mounted on eyewash and faucet. In an alternative embodiment a water bubbler can be substituted for the eyewash. Water passageways within the columnar structure separately supply the appropriate temperature water to the faucet and eyewash/bubbler. Valving mounted on the columnar structure, preferably with an angle oriented at an acute angle to the axis of the column, controls the temperature of water supplied to the faucet. Cold, or slightly tempered, water is supplied to the eyewash.

Integral eyewash and faucet

An emergency washing unit flexibly connected to a service sink faucet, wherein water flow through the unit can be initiated by simply grabbing the unit and squeezing the handle operator on the unit. The unit can be directed anywhere onto the person using it because of its connection to a water supply via a flexible hose. The unit may be mounted on brackets that hold it in a position closer to the user. A vacuum breaker can be used to prevent possible contamination caused by unwanted flow back of used water through the washing unit into the faucet.
