When working with hazardous substances in the laboratory your partner splashes a small amount of Sodium Hydroxide onto their clothing, you immediately help them to the safety shower to rinse off for 15 minutes. After you help your partner into the safety shower, what should be your next step?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After helping your partner to the shower, remove the contaminated clothing and put it inside a bag, make sure the bag is thick enough or you just double the bag. Thereafter, you'll expose/flush the irritated part with plain water or saline water for 30 - 40 minutes.
