ENSURE THAT MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARE AWARE OF THE MATERIAL(S) INVOLVED, AND
TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
| 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER FOG.
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
IN THE EVENT THAT A BATTERY IS RUPTURED AND THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS ARE
EXPOSED, DO NOT USE WATER. DO NOT USE CARBON DIOXIDE DIRECTLY ON CELLS.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL:
BATTERIES EVOLVE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS DURING CHARGING AND MAY INCREASE
FIRE RISK. CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE WHEN HEATED.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIREFIGHTERS:
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING MUST BE
WORN IN CASE OF FIRE. SELECTION OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTION FOR FIREFIGHTING:
FOLLOW THE GENERAL FIRE PRECAUTIONS INDICATED IN THE WORKPLACE.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT/INSTRUCTIONS:
USE STANDARD FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES AND CONSIDER THE HAZARDS OF OTHER
INVOLVED MATERIALS.
GENERAL FIRE HAZARDS:
LIKE ANY SEALED CONTAINER, BATTERY CELLS MAY RUPTURE WHEN EXPOSED
TO EXCESSIVE HEAT; THIS COULD RESULT IN THE RELEASE OF CORROSIVE
AND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP:
NEUTRALIZE THE SPILLED MATERIAL BEFORE DISPOSAL. SWEEP UP OR VACUUM UP
SPILLAGE AND COLLECT IN SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. DISPOSE OF WASTE
AND RESIDUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
PREVENT RUNOFF FROM ENTERING DRAINS, SEWERS, OR STREAMS.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE RESULTING IN A LEAK OF EXPOSED MATERIALS, AVOID
CONTACT WITH CONTENTS OF AN OPEN OR DAMAGED CELL OR BATTERY. KEEP AWAY FROM
HEAT, SPARKS AND OPEN FLAME. DO NOT ALLOW CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL TO TOUCH THE
BATTERY TERMINALS. A DANGEROUS SHORT-CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR AND CAUSE BATTERY
FAILURE AND FIRE.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES:
STORE IN ORIGINAL TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER. PROTECT CONTAINERS FROM DAMAGE.
