Topics around Isogutt® akut MP
Background
Especially in case of accidents with corrosive substances (acids or alkalis), immediate flushing - e.g. with plenty of water - is the first choice. This general recommendation has been confirmed by practical experience in companies and has been incorporated into the rules and regulations of the German Social Accident Insurance Institution and statutory obligations.
Immediate flushing of the eyes, skin or mucous membranes is crucial to dilute and remove e.g. corrosive or toxic substances as quickly as possible so that damage can be kept to a minimum.
Body and eye showers must be accessible for immediate use within 10 seconds or less.
If no flowing drinking water is available nearby, or if a drinking water pipeline would have to be laid at disproportionate expense, eye wash bottles containing sterile rinsing fluid offer a safe alternative.
