| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
NOTE:
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF BATTERY USE, INTERNAL COMPONENTS WILL NOT
PRESENT A HEALTH HAZARD. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR BATTERY
ELECTROLYTE (ACID) AND LEAD FOR EXPOSURE THAT MAY OCCUR DURING BATTERY
PRODUCTION OR CONTAINER BREAKAGE OR UNDER EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS SUCH AS
FIRE
ROUTES AND METHODS OF ENTRY:
INHALATION:
ACID MIST GENERATED DURING BATTERY FORMATION MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION. SPILLAGE OF ACID FROM BATTERIES IN CONFINED AREAS MAY ALSO LEAD
TO EXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MIST.
SKIN CONTACT:
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS AND
ULCERATION.
SKIN ABSORPTION: SKIN ABSORPTION IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT ROUTE OF ENTRY.
EYE CONTACT:
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, AND CORNEA
DAMAGE UPON CONTACT.
INGESTION:
HANDS CONTAMINATED BY CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF A BATTERY CAN
CAUSE INGESTION OF LEAD/LEAD COMPOUNDS. HANDS SHOULD BE WASHED PRIOR TO
EATING, DRINKING, OR SMOKING.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD COMPOUNDS ARE GI (GASTROINTESTINAL)
UPSET, LOSS OF APPETITE, DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION WITH CRAMPING, DIFFICULTY
IN SLEEPING, AND FATIGUE. EXPOSURE AND/OR CONTACT WITH BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
(ACID) MAY LEAD TO ACUTE IRRITATION OF THE SKIN, CORNEAL DAMAGE OF THE
EYES, AND IRRITATION OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF THE EYES AND UPPER
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, INCLUDING LUNGS.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE CHRONIC ANEMIA, DAMAGE TO THE KIDNEYS AND
NERVOUS SYSTEM. LEAD MAY ALSO CAUSE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM DAMAGE AND CAN
AFFECT DEVELOPING FETUSES IN PREGNANT WOMEN. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID)
MAY LEAD TO SCARRING OF THE CORNEA, CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, AS WELL AS EROSION
OF TOOTH ENAMEL IN MOUTH BREATHERS IN REPEATED EXPOSURES.
POTENTIAL TO CAUSE CANCER:
THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGICAL PROGRAM (NTP) AND THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR
RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAVE CLASSIFIED "STRONG INORGANIC ACID MIST
CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY 1 CARCINOGEN, A SUBSTANCE THAT IS
CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS. THE ACGIH HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG INORGANIC ACID
MIST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS AN A2 CARCINOGEN (SUSPECTED HUMAN
CARCINOGEN). THESE CLASSIFICATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIQUID FORMS OF
SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS CONTAINED WITHIN A BATTERY.
INORGANIC ACID MIST (SULFURIC ACID MIST) IS NOT GENERATED UNDER NORMAL USE
OF THIS PRODUCT. MISUSE OF THE PRODUCT, SUCH AS OVERCHARGING, MAY RESULT
IN THE GENERATION OF SULFURIC ACID MIST.
THE NTP AND THE IARC HAVE CLASSIFIED LEAD AS AN A3 CARCINOGEN (ANIMAL
CARCINOGEN). WHILE THE AGENT IS CARCINOGENIC IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS AT
RELATIVELY HIGH DOSES, THE AGENT IS UNLIKELY TO CAUSE CANCER IN HUMANS
EXCEPT UNDER UNCOMMONLY HIGH LEVELS OF EXPOSURE. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION,
SEE THE ACGIH'S PAMPHLET, 1996 THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES AND BIOLOGICAL
EXPOSURE INDICES.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF ANY OF THE ACUTE EFFECTS
LISTED ABOVE DEVELOP.
SKIN:
WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF ACID IS SPLASHED ON CLOTHING,
REMOVE AND DISCARD. IF ACID IS SPLASHED IN SHOES, REMOVE THEM IMMEDIATELY
AND DISCARD. ACID CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM LEATHER.
EYES:
IMMEDIATELY RINSE WITH COOL RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER RINSING.
INGESTION:
LEAD/LEAD COMPOUNDS: CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID):
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. REFER TO A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
INORGANIC LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY,
LIVER, AND NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES. CONTACT OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID)
WITH THE SKIN MAY AGGRAVATE SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA AND CONTACT
DERMATITIS.

| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
STORE LEAD ACID BATTERIES WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. ROOM VENTILATION IS
REQUIRED FOR BATTERIES UTILIZED FOR STANDBY POWER GENERATION. NEVER
RECHARGE BATTERIES IN AN UNVENTILATED, ENCLOSED SPACE.
WORK PRACTICES:
MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON TIGHTLY. PLACE A MINIMUM OF TWO LAYERS OF
CORRUGATED CARDBOARD BETWEEN LAYERS OF BATTERIES. WHEN STACKING IN
TRAILER, STACK NO MORE THAN THREE LAYERS HIGH. USE A BATTERY CARRIER TO
LIFT A BATTERY OR PLACE HANDS AT OPPOSITE CORNERS TO AVOID SPILLING ACID
THROUGH THE VENTS. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE
BATTERIES.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL HANDLING CONDITIONS. DURING BATTERY FORMATION
(HIGH-RATE CHARGE CONDITION), ACID MIST CAN BE GENERATED, WHICH MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. IF IRRITATION OCCURS, WEAR A RESPIRATOR SUITABLE
FOR PROTECTION AGAINST ACID MIST.
EYES AND FACE:
CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES ARE PREFERRED. ALSO ACCEPTABLE ARE "VISOR-GOGS" OR
A CHEMICAL FACE SHIELD WORN OVER SAFETY GLASSES WITH SOLID SIDE SHIELDS.
HANDS, ARMS, AND BODY:
VINYL-COATED, PVC, GAUNTLET-TYPE GLOVES WITH ROUGH FINISH.
OTHER SPECIAL CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT:
SAFETY SHOES WORN WITH RUBBER OR NEOPRENE BOOTS OR STEEL-TOED RUBBER OR
NEOPRENE BOOTS WORN OVER SOCKS. PLACE PANTS LEGS OVER BOOTS TO KEEP ACID
OUT OF BOOTS. ALL FOOTWEAR MUST MEET REQUIREMENTS OF ANSI Z41.1-1991.
| SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
HYGIENE PRACTICES:
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, OR SMOKING AFTER HANDLING
BATTERIES.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES TO BE TAKEN DURING NON-ROUTINE TASKS, INCLUDING
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE:
WEAR RECOMMENDED EYE PROTECTION. IF CLOTHING BECOMES SATURATED WITH ACID,
REMOVE AND WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. DISCARD SATURATED
CLOTHING.
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
PROTECTIVE MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
REMOVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. CONTAIN SPILL BY
DIKING WITH SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE) OR QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE).
COVER SPILL WITH EITHER CHEMICAL. MIX WELL. MAKE CERTAIN THE MIXTURE IS
NEUTRAL, THEN COLLECT RESIDUE AND PLACE IN A DRUM OR OTHER SUITABLE
CONTAINER. DISPOSE OF AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
WEAR ACID-RESISTANT BOOTS, CHEMICAL FACE SHIELD, CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES,
AND ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES.
DO NOT RELEASE UNNEUTRALIZED ACID!
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID):
NEUTRALIZE AS ABOVE FOR A SPILL, COLLECT RESIDUE, AND PLACE IN A DRUM OR
SUITABLE CONTAINER. DISPOSE OF AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
DO NOT FLUSH LEAD-CONTAMINATED ACID INTO SEWER.
BATTERIES:
SEND TO LEAD SMELTER FOR RECLAMATION FOLLOWING APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE,
AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
OTHER HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
AN EYEWASH FOUNTAIN AND SAFETY SHOWER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN OR NEAR THE
PRODUCTION OR STORAGE AREA(S) FOR LEAD/LEAD ACID BATTERIES. SUCH STORAGE
AREAS SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH A CONTAINMENT FACILITY WHICH CAPTURES ACID
SPILLS SO THAT THEY MAY BE NEUTRALIZED, COLLECTED, AND DISPOSED OF
PROPERLY.
BATTERY CAN BE SHIPPED BY AIR.
