Danger Corrosive signals a substance that can cause serious damage to living tissue on contact. Corrosives have the potential to burn or destroy skin and eyes, and they can also corrode metals. This label communicates a risk far beyond simple irritation or mild injury, because exposure can lead to deep tissue damage that may be irreversible. In practical terms, handle such substances with the highest precautions: use chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles or a face shield, protective clothing, and good ventilation; avoid any skin or eye contact; and if contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
