The question is incomplete, the choices are:

a. Take him to the safety shower, and make sure he stands under it for at least 15 minutes to be sure all hazardous material has been washed away. b. Remove the watch and watchband immediately, and rinse his wrist for at least 15 minutes to be sure all hazardous material has been washed away. c. Let the TA inspect his wrist to see if it is okay.

An acid is traditionally considered to be any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, produces a solution with greater hydronium cation activity than pure water, i.e., a pH less than 7. Both corrosive acids (and also corrosive bases) are capable of destroying skin by catalyzing the hydrolysis of fats, which are chemically esters. Also, when acids attack metals, hydrogen gas is often released.

This is why your lab partner should remove the watch and watchband immediately, and rinse his wrist for at least 15 minutes to be sure all hazardous material has been washed away. This ensures that the acid is can not damage the skin. And also the person should make sure that someone qualified checks it to see if it is okay.
