All industrial operations should be designed to prevent all skin contact with all chemicals. However, many operations, especially those involving paints, oils, and greases, do result in skin exposure. Such exposures should be thoroughly rinsed with soapy water. Any exposure that causes any irritation or health effect must be thoroughly rinsed and the employee should seek medical attention.
