Here is the general procedure to follow if a chemical is spilled on your body.
|
|
|
There are emergency showers around campus where hazardous chemicals are used. Many chemicals will cause damage and burns to the skin.
|
|
|
So they must be rinsed off immediately. Wash exposed skin thoroughly and contact a physician if an irritation persists.
|
|
|
The other thing to keep in mind is that all contaminated clothing must be removed. Clothing traps the chemical against the skin. So even if you rinse you will still get burned if the clothing is not removed.

|
Take a look at your work area and determine the closest water supply.
