If you help someone with exposed bodily fluids or chemicals your main priority should be to look after yourself:
PUT ON GLOVES OR ANY OTHER PROTECTIVE BARRIER YOU CAN FIND.
A MINOR IRRITATION E.g. Dust or dirt
Wash the irritation out of the eye with distilled, or cold tap water
Make sure the water runs in an opposite direction to the healthy eye
A SERIOUS INJURY E.g. An obstruction
Hold a sterile dressing over the eye, bandage in place if needed
Close the good eye to try and limit any movement, bandage if this will help
Take to hospital or call 999 if you think it is needed
CHEMICAL INJURIES
Make sure you are wearing gloves then open and wash the eye out with lots of clean water
Make sure the water runs in an opposite direction to the healthy eye
Call 999 for an ambulance
