Ensure that eye-wash stations are nearby if handling acetic
acid. In the event of a large spill in either the workplace or at
home, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be
equipped, and you should also wear a full protective suit for
additional safety. If you do not have this equipment readily at
hand, do not attempt to clean up the acetic acid without it.

contact with either the skin or eyes. In any instance of acetic
acid exposure, it is important to seek help from a medical
professional right away to help prevent damaging health
effects.
