Abstract
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.
