Thousands of industrial accidents happen every year in spite od precautionary safety measures, accidents that are causedby human exposure to heat (fire, boilling water and oil, steam etc.), to corrosive agents (fluid acids and caustics) and/or to influence by dust and corrosive aerosols (metal, dirts, fluids). These accidents cause the injured person acute pain, disablement and may even lead to loss of life.
However, experience shows that the consequences and human suffering following such accidents can be considerably limited if water is applied directly to the affected areas instantly after exposure.
