What safety measures should be taken when handling acids to ensure safe handling and storage?

When handling acids, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Acids should be stored in a designated area away from other chemicals and in a well-ventilated space. Always use proper handling techniques, such as pouring slowly and carefully to avoid splashes. In case of spills, neutralize the acid with a base and clean up promptly. Additionally, make sure to have access to emergency eyewash and shower facilities in case of accidental exposure.
