Appropriate engineering Airborne exposure should be controlled primarily by engineering controls such as general dilution
controls ventilation,focal exhaust ventilation,or process enclosure.Local exhaust ventilation is generally
preferred to general exhaust because it can control the contaminant at its source,preventing
dispersion into the work area.An industrial hygiene survey involving air monitoring may be used
to determine the effectiveness of engineering controls.Effectiveness of engineering controls
Intended for use with highly potent materials should be assessed by use of nontoxic surrogate
materials,Local exhaust ventilation such as a laboratory fume hood or other vented enclosure is
recommended,particularly for aerosol-generating procedures.
individual protection measures,such as personal protective equipment
Eyetface protection Safety glasses with sideshlelds are recommended.Face shields or goggles may be required if
splash potential exists or If corrosive materials are present.Approved eye protection(e.g.,bearing
the ANSI Z87 or CSA stamp)is preferred.Maintain eyewash facilities In the work area.
Skin protection
Hand protection Chemically compatible gloves.For handling solutions,ensure that the glove material is protective
against the solvent being used.Use handling practices that minimize direct hand contact.
Employees who are sensitive to natural rubber(latex)should use nitrite or other synthetic nonlatex
gloves.Use of powdered latex gloves should be avoided due to the risk of latex allergy.
Other For handling of laboratory scale quantities,a cloth lab coat is recommended.Where significant
quantities are handled,work clothing may be necessary to prevent take-home contamination.
Respiratory protection Where respirators are deemed necessary to reduce or control occupational exposures,use
NIOSH-approved respiratory protection and have an effective respirator program in place
(applicable U.S,regulation OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134).

V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: Not Applicable
Flammable Limits: LEL=4.1% (hydrogen gas in air ;UEL=74.2%
-Extinguishing media: CO ;foam;dry chemical
Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use positive pressure,self-contained breathing apparatus. Beware of acid splatter during water application and wear acid-resistant
clothing,gloves,face and eye protection. If batteries are on charge,shut off power to the charging equipment,but,note that strings
of series connected batteries may still pose risk of electric shock even when charging equipment is shut down.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
In operation,or when on charge,batteries generate and release flammable hydrogen and oxygen gases(hydrogen is highly
flammable and oxygen supports combustion). They must always be assumed to contain this gas which,if ignited by burning
cigarette,naked flame or spark,may cause battery explosion with dispersion of casing fragments and corrosive liquid electrolyte.
Carefully follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service. Keep away all sources of gas ignition and do not allow
metallic articles to simultaneously contact the negative and positive terminals of a battery.
V1. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove combustible materials and all sources of ignition. Stop flow of material and contain spill by diking with soda ash,etc. Carefully
neutralize spill with soda ash,etc. Make certain mixture is neutral then collect residue and place in a drum or other suitable container with
a label specifying"contains hazardous waste"or(if uncertain call distributor regarding proper labeling procedures). Dispose of as
hazardous waste. If battery is leaking,place battery in a heavy duty plastic bag. Wear acid resistant boots,face shield,chemical splash
goggles and acid resistant gloves.Do not allow discharge of acid to sewer. Acid must be managed in accordance with approved local,
state,and federal requirements. Consult state environmental agenc and/or federal EPA.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Single batteries pose no risk of electric shock but there may be increasing risk of electric shock from strings of connected batteries
exceeding three 12-volt units. Batteries are non-spillable-potential for exposure to contents only during recycling or if outer casing is
cracked or damaged.
Storage:
Store batteries under roof in cool,dry,well-ventilated areas that are separated from incompatible materials and from activities which may
create flames,sparks,or heat. Keep away from metallic objects that could bridge the terminals on a battery and create a dangerous short-
circuit.

Charging:
There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected batteries,whether or not being
charged. Shut-off power to chargers whenever not in use and before detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries being charged will
generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position.Prohibit smoking
and avoid creation of flames ands arks nearby. Wear face and eye protection when near batteries being charged.
