A worker in a laboratory spills a dangerous chemical onto her hand. What is the appropriate response?

For a chemical spill on the skin, immediately flush the affected area with plenty of running water for at least 20 minutes to dilute and remove the chemical. Do not wipe it off or apply ointment, since these actions can further irritate or trap the chemical against the skin. Choice A gives the appropriate first response.
