Immediate decontamination is crucial following HF exposure. For skin contact, affected areas should be flushed with water, and calcium gluconate gel should be applied to bind fluoride ions. Inhalation exposures require fresh air and possibly oxygen supplementation. Medical evaluation is necessary for all significant exposures, and treatments may include intravenous calcium or magnesium to counteract systemic fluoride toxicity. Hydration and electrolyte monitoring are vital components of comprehensive management.
