Immediate and thorough decontamination is crucial in cases of sodium hydroxide exposure. For skin contact, remove contaminated clothing and rinse the affected area with copious amounts of water. For eye exposure, irrigate the eye with water or saline for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Inhalation exposure requires moving to fresh air and seeking medical help. Ingestion necessitates immediate medical attention; do not induce vomiting.
