If you spill a chemical on your skin (Select all that apply): For large spills, immediately use the safety shower, regardless of any initial cold or discomfort. For spills of a base, your laboratory instructor should follow the first water rinsing with a rinse of hydrochloric acid solution. If possible, immediately remove all affected clothing. If the spilled chemical is an acid, your laboratory instructor should follow the first water rinsing with a rinse of the sodium hydroxide solution. For small spills on your skin, immediately rinse the affected area with large amounts of water.
