P353 — Rinse skin with water or shower

A response statement from GHS Annex 3 — the precautionary half of the label language on SDSs and containers.

AT A GLANCE · OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“Rinse skin with water or shower.”
GROUP
Response (P3xx)
ANNEX 3 ROLE
First aid, fire, spills — when it happens anyway
ASSIGNED BY THE ENGINE
Automatically — whenever a product carries any of the hazard statements below

Appendix C writes this as "Rinse skin with water [or shower]." The bracketed words are included where the preparer considers them appropriate (C.2.4.5). Our sheets include them: the engine assigns P353 to flammable liquids and corrosive products, where a shower may be needed.
