google says the most dangerous bases can cause skin and eye damage, and be very flammable if they were to dissolve aluminium (two different chemicals). So I guess worst case scenario you open the windows, lock the room, and come back with protective equipment to clean up your mess
you probably wouldn’t handle something, that if dropped, would be dangerous enough to need a whole building evacuated outside of a dedicated room without wearing a full hazman suit and adhering to additional 100 precautions and safety measures
unless you’re the sort of guy to use a screwdriver to play with the demon core, but that’s not a liquid chemical base and hopefully won’t happen again
Edit: Turns out it reacts explosively with water (so it itself can’t form the aqueous solution necessary for the concept of pH to be applicable) and decomposes into two different strong acids (hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid). So yeah, not a candidate for our mystery base.
Yes, this is the kind of substance that would promptly react to protons, what would be a base-like behavior if it also didn’t promptly react to hydroxyl, what would be an acid-like behavior.
But given that it will consistently turn water into plasma, I guess it technically has a PH of 0.
Any base that could be dangerous enough to have to evacuate a building? When thinking about bases, I’m thinking bleach

You’d probably do the work under a hood too.
Only when there are guest in the lab
BRB, looking up the pH of chlorine triflouride…
