what is the recommended amount of time that should be spent flushing your eyes from contaminants?
○ a. 20 minutes
○ b. 15 minutes
○ c. until you feel that the containments are out
○ d. 10 minutes

Explanation:

In laboratory safety and eye - washing protocols, the recommended time to flush eyes contaminated with hazardous substances is 20 minutes. This is a standard safety guideline to ensure that all contaminants are removed from the eyes to prevent damage. Option b (15 minutes) and d (10 minutes) are too short, and option c (until you feel the contaminants are out) is not a reliable measure as the feeling may not correspond to complete removal of contaminants.

Answer:

a. 20 minutes
