Question

Forrest spills some acid on the lab floor. He notifies his teacher and begins to look for baking soda to neutralize the acid on the floor. Who should be notified next?
other students in the lab
the police department
lab stockroom personnel
the fire department

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. After reporting to the teacher and neutralizing it, he should then tell the other students in the lab in order to avoid more contamination. Hope this answers the question.

Answer 2

I would think the logical answer would be to call the fire department. Telling students is a waste of time because there isn't much they could do to help and although they'd know to stay away from the spill, they could over exaggerate the situation. Not only that, but in order to ensure the safety of the students, I would think it'd be more important to contact the fire department as soon as possible because it is their responsibility to arrive as soon as possible.
