Answer:
It is always safer to add acid to water, and not water to acid.
Explanation:
If you add water to acid it forms an extremely concentrated solution of acid initially. So much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container and all this because the reaction is exothermic. ... So it is always safer to add acid to water, and not water to acid.

Water is never poured on acid to dilute it as large amount of heat is evolved which changes poured water to steam. The steam so formed causes spurting of acid which can cause burn injuries, so it shouldnot be done.
