To echo the others, WATER.

Two short items:

Someone on this listserv once said, “Don’t do chemistry on your skin” (I paraphrase). Well said.

The other is, early in my chemistry career, I was curious about emergency response to chemical spills on people. I bought a book called “First Aid for Chemical Spills” or something like that. Basically, it said flush with water for everything (it was a slim volume). But I’ll never forget the section on NaH. It said, (again paraphrased), “…flush with water, don't worry, the flames will die down…”.

Hello,

We mainly use Sulfuric acid and Nitric acid in our lab.  Is there a first aid kit designed for acid that you could recommend?

Thanks,

Wayne
