The effects of common laboratory accidents include burns and scalds, cuts and ingestion
of harmful substances.
In case of an accident, proceed using the PIA rule where:
P: PROTECT- move the casuality to a safe place.
I: INFORM-report to the appropriate authority.
A: ASSIST-give the necessary help.
Keep calm.
Keep the casuality warm.
Do not move the casuality if you are unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
