Abstract

PREVOR is a toxicology laboratory specialised in the emergency management of chemical splashes. Chemicals and their associated risks are a real concern. History has shown that the traditional use of water as a mean of emergency decontamination, whilst beneficial, has its limits. These limits may result in a chemical burn. Scientific advancement and deep understanding of the chemical injuries mechanism have allowed new rinsing solutions to be developed which permit to prevent or reduce the seriousness of chemical injuries. The specificity of hydrofluoric acid burns and its first aid management will also be detailed through industrial case reports and scientific experiments. Finally practical information will be shared, on the use of these medical devices at the workplace.
