Remove the chemical, flush with water, and cover with a bandage.
Brief steps: remove contaminated clothing/jewellery, rinse the area with copious running water for at least 15–20 minutes (longer for eye exposures), loosely cover with sterile dressing, and get medical help for severe burns, eye injuries, large-area burns, or if the chemical is a strong acid/alkali. Do not use ice or try to neutralize the chemical unless instructed by poison control/medical personnel.
