First Aid in Case of an Accident
The occurrence of an accident of any kind in the laboratory should be reported
promptly to your instructor, even if it seems relatively minor.
F I R E
Your first consideration is to remove yourself from any danger, notto extinguish the
fire. If it is possible to do so without endangering yourself, turn off any burners and
remove containers of flammable solvents from the immediate area to prevent the
fire from spreading. For the most effective use of a fire extinguisher, direct its noz-
zle toward the baseof the flames. Burning oil may be put out with an extinguisher
classified for use on “ABC” type fires.
If your clothing is on fire, DO NOT RUN; rapid movement will only fan the
flames. Roll on the floor to smother the fire and to help keep the flames away from
your head. Your neighbors can help to extinguish the flames by using fire blankets,
laboratory coats, or other items that are immediately available. Do not hestitate to aid
your neighbor if he or she is involved in such an emergency; a few seconds delay may
result in serious injury. Alaboratory shower, if close by, can be used to extinguish burn-
ing clothing, as can a carbon dioxide extinguisher, which must be used with care until
the flames are extinguished and only if the flames are not near the head.
If burns are minor, apply a burn ointment. In the case of serious burns, do not
apply any ointment; seek professional medical treatment at once.
C H E M I C A L B U R N S
Areas of the skin with which corrosive chemicals have come in contact should be
immediately and thoroughly washed with soap and warm water. If the burns are
minor, apply burn ointment; for treatment of more serious burns, see a physician.
Bromine burns can be particularly serious. These burns should first be washed
with soap and warm water and then thoroughly soaked with 0.6 Msodium thiosulfate
solution for three hours. Apply cod liver oil ointment and a dressing; see a physician.
If chemicals, in particular corrosive or hot reagents, come in contact with the
eyes, immediately flood the eyes with water from the nearest outlet. A specially
designed eyewash fountain is useful if available in the laboratory. Do not touch the
eye. The eyelid as well as the eyeball should be washed with water for several
minutes. In all instances where sensitive eye tissue is involved in such an acci-
dent, consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
C U T S
Minor cuts may be treated by ordinary first-aid procedures; seek professional med-
ical attention for serious cuts. If severe bleeding indicates that an artery has been
severed, attempt to stop the bleeding with compresses and pressure; a tourniquet
should be applied only by those who have received first-aid training. Arrange for
emergency room treatment at once.
Aperson who is injured severely enough to require a physician’s treatment
should be accompaniedto the doctor’s office, or infirmary, even if he or she claims to
be all right. Persons in shock, particularly after suffering burns, are often more seri-
ously injured than they appear to be.
