Removal from exposure:

Tanks should be entered for repairing or cleaning only after these have been drained, flushed thoroughly along with ventilated, water, and sampled.  Workers entering tanks should be monitored through someone on the outside of the tank.  A supplied-air respirator or self-hold breathing apparatus, together along with rescue lifeline and harness, should be on hand for rescue reasons.

Removal from exposure is the main, and most significant, step where exposure through inhalation is included. The individual should be made as warm and comfortable as probable, and a physician should be known as instantly.

Ingestion, the least general mode of contamination, needs immediate medical attention.  Many attempts at first aid beyond drinking huge quantities of water should be made just upon the advice of a physician.

A physician should be consulted as soon as possible after first aid is rendered if body burns are severe or extensive, or if the eyes are in any way included.  No attempt should be made to neutralize the corrosive prior to treatment along with water.  Any treatment, further to the use of water, should be undertaken just with the advice of the physician.

While corrosives are shipped in small containers like as glass or polyethylene bottles that should be well protected, whether individually packaged or several are packaged inside a single case. After careful inspection, corrosives might be stored in these containers if the containers are managed within an upright position and under cover.  The hold should be kept off the floor on materials which are corrosive resistant, or protected along with corrosive-resistant coverings, for facilitate flushing and other cleanup process in the event of spills or leakage.
