C. Reducing Pain
- If chemicals splash onto your body, immediately flush them off with water. If the chemical splashes in your eyes, wash them immediately and continue for 10 minutes. Get to a physician as soon as possible. Proper laboratories will have eyewash stations and many have showers.
- Tell your teacher immediately if an accident or spill occurs, no matter how minor.
- If you are on fire, drop to the ground and roll on the floor to smother the flames. To help smother the flames, cover them with coats or blankets.
- In case of fire, use a fire extinguisher (if available). Call 911 or the fire department.
- Use sand or a large container to smother small fires. This cuts off the supply of oxygen.
