corrosive materials handling

Handling corrosive materials requires careful procedures to prevent injury or damage. These substances can damage skin, eyes, and other materials upon contact. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Work in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhaling harmful vapors. Store corrosives in labeled, secure containers away from incompatible substances. Follow proper transfer methods to prevent spills, and in case of contact or spill, rinse immediately with water and seek medical help if needed. Proper training and adherence to safety protocols are essential for safe handling and minimizing risks.
