All chemicals should have an MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), at least on the original container. If this is used by a company or in a school laboratory, they should have full page copies of the MSDS on file for every chemical they have on site. This is a "Right to Know" for anyone working with the chemical. It is the law. Any chemical NOT in the original container should be clearly marked with a special label as to the name, and any hazard it poses...ie fire, health, reactivity. The MSDS should give clear instructions on what to do if there is skin or eye contact, or the chemical is swallowed.

There are several things to do if corrosive is spilled on skin. The first and immediate action would be to rinse it off with water. However, this will depend on the type of corrosive as some would react with water. You should seek medical attention immediately.

Yes. Anytime you get something on your skin that could harm you, you need to wash it off and then go to the E.R. Most containers have instructions on what to do if it has contact with skin or eyes.
