LEARNING TASK 5 : Describe emergency equipment and facilities
Emergency wash stations
There may be times when you are working with acids or other substances that may “burn” your flesh. If you accidentally splash or spill some corrosive substance on your skin, you will want to wash the affected area very quickly with large amounts of water to dilute the acid and minimize burning. For this reason it is important to locate special emergency sinks or showers in the work site.
