What Are the Protocols for Different Routes of Exposure?

The route of exposure significantly influences the emergency response:
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a medical professional. Provide the victim with water or milk to dilute the substance if recommended.
Inhalation: Ensure the victim has access to fresh air. Administer oxygen if available and trained to do so.
Dermal: Continuously wash the affected area with water and avoid spreading the contaminant.
Ocular: Rinse eyes with water or saline for at least 15 minutes.
