Question 5 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

The laundry room of a hospital houses various detergents and cleaning chemicals. Which of the following would be most helpful in increasing safety regarding accidental spills on an employee’s body?

Answer
A
plastic sheets to shield workers as they work
B
a facility for employees to quickly flush the chemicals from their eyes or body
C
the contact information for the Occupational Safety and Health Association
D
an emergency CT scan

Explanation

A facility such as an emergency eyewash station or safety shower lets employees immediately rinse chemicals off their eyes or skin after a spill. Fast flushing can reduce irritation and prevent more serious injury. Plastic sheets and contact information do not provide immediate decontamination, and a CT scan is not a first-aid response.
