CAUTION! WHEN HANDLING CAUSTIC SODA ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
FACE SHIELD OR SAFETY GOGGLES. Caustic soda is a strong alkali, which can cause
serious burns on contact with skin or eyes. Caustic dust and mist represent a hazard to
the respiratory tract. All contact with body or clothing should be avoided. If caustic soda
does contact the body or clothing, the affected clothing should be removed and washed
with large quantities of cold water. Caustic destroys wool and leather ‘ so these materi-
als should be avoided. If caustic soda splashes on the body, flush with large quantities
of water. DO NOT ATTEMPT CHEMICAL NEUTRALIZATION. If caustic soda splashes into
the eyes, wash from the eyes with a steady, gentle stream of water for 15 minutes. Do
not use soap. Call a doctor at once.
