If these materials are spilled on the body or clothing, wash at once with large amounts of water. Contact lenses are allowed. Confine long hair when in the laboratory. In case of fire, notify the Prof or TA's at once.
Wet towels are very efficient for smothering small fires.
If there is a large fire, close the doors to the adjacent laboratories, evacuate the laboratory, close the entrance door to the laboratory, and evacuate the building. In case of accident, notify the Prof or TA's at once. The emergency electrical cut-off switch is located at the entrance to the laboratory. If the situation is safe, verify that the victim is conscious. Do not use mouth suction in filling pipettes.
