Protection Against Caustic Soda Toxicity

  Caustic soda is extremely corrosive, and its solution or dust splashed on the skin, especially on the mucous membrane, can produce soft scabs and can penetrate deep tissues.

  A burn leaves a scar. Splashing into the eye not only damages the cornea but also damages the deep tissue of the eye. If accidentally splashed on the skin, immediately rinse with water for 10 minutes; If splashed into the eyes, immediately flush with water or normal saline for 15 minutes, and then add 2% novocaine.

  In severe cases, be sent to the hospital for treatment. The higher allowable concentration of caustic soda dust in the air is 0.5mg/m3. Operators must wear work clothes, masks, protective glasses, rubber gloves, rubber aprons, long rubber boots, and other labor protection supplies when working. Neutral and hydrophobic ointment should be applied to the skin. The production workshop should be well ventilated.
