N2  - Regardless of mechanism of injury, stop the burning process, assess the cardiopulmonary function, remove appropriate clothing and jewelry, and cool the burned area with tepid water. With a dry chemical, wipe off as much of a chemical as possible before beginning irrigation. Persons giving first aid must protect their own skin from contact with the chemical. All significant burns should be referred to a physician skilled in burn treatment. Occupational health nurses should join together and create a national tool to report all work related thermal injuries.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
