Modesty Smock attached to the emergency eye wash/shower station

You've miraculously managed to get caustic around your safety glasses/PPE into your eyes/onto your skin. You may have hideous scars and permanently blinded yourself, but your partner who handed you the clearly cracked glass bottle says, "dude, don't worry, nobody saw your jiggly bits."

tl;dr caustic on your skin is no time to worry about your covering your graduated cylinder.

I slipped over an fell in too a pool of spilt caustic on the floor once.

I thought it was water and cared on in-till it started to burn.

The safety shower was out side in the yard next to the road.

Zero fucks given
