In a lab setting, if a chemical spills on the skin, the correct procedure is to immediately inform the teacher and rinse the area with plenty of water to minimize harm. Option A is wrong as ignoring any chemical spill (even if it doesn't hurt initially) is unsafe. Option C is incorrect because covering with a bandage without proper rinsing first can trap the chemical. Option D is wrong as rubbing the area can spread the chemical or increase absorption. So the correct action is described in option B.
