Working with sulfuric acid

Sulfuric acid, widely used in the chemical, metal plating, printing and other industries, is a corrosive chemical and explosive hazard that can severely burn the skin and eyes, possibly leading to blindness. Breathing sulfuric acid can irritate the nose and throat, with repeated exposure causing lung damage.
Toolboxtopics.com says that when working with sulfuric acid, eye and face protection is essential, but it’s not enough to wear safety glasses. You should wear chemical-type goggles and a face shield. Protective clothing should include an acid-resistant long apron and gloves. When working with large quantities, you should wear an acid-resistant rain-suit and high-top boots, with the pant leg extending over the top of the boot.
In case of contact, you must wash the acid off the body quickly. Start washing and as you do so, remove all acid-wet clothing. Keep the water flowing. In cases where there are severe burns, shock may set in. If this occurs, treat for shock by placing victim on his back and keeping him warm. Call immediately for medical help. Do not apply any ointments, oils or other treatments to the burned area.
If acid is swallowed, it burns tissues all the way down to the stomach. Do not induce vomiting, which will cause additional burns as it comes up. Never give anything to an unconscious person but, if the victim is conscious, the acid should be immediately diluted. Provide milk, preferably mixed with egg whites. If this isn't available, give as much water to drink as possible.
