To prevent skin/eye contact and absorption, probably the single most important thing you can do when there is the chance of exposure from a potentially hazardous chemical is to wear these safety goggles/glasses or more specifically, chemical splash goggles.
The eye is particularly vulnerable to damage from chemicals especially corrosive materials such as strong acids or strong bases or caustics. Gloves offer excellent protection for the skin. Refer to the MSDS for the suggested glove material (rubber, nitrile etc) to offer maximum protection. This information can also be found on the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in the Chemical Hygiene Notebook.
