Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Electrolyte: Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Lead/arsenic compounds: Remove from exposure, gargle, wash nose and lips; consult physician.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Electrolyte: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including shoes. Lead/arsenic compounds: Wash immediately with soap and water.
👁️ Eye Contact
Electrolyte and Lead/arsenic compounds: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; consult physician immediately.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Electrolyte: Give large quantities of water; do not induce vomiting; consult physician. Lead/arsenic compounds: Consult physician immediately.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Consult physician immediately (for eye contact and lead/arsenic compound ingestion). Consult physician (for electrolyte ingestion and lead/arsenic compound inhalation).
Medical Treatment
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult physician.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Store and handle in well-ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used, components must be acid-resistant. Handle batteries cautiously, do not tip to avoid spills. Make certain vent caps are on securely. If battery case is damaged, avoid bodily contact with internal components. Wear protective clothing, eye and face protection, when filling, charging, or handling batteries.
🧤 Hand Protection
Rubber or plastic acid-resistant gloves with elbow-length gauntlet.
👁️ Eye Protection
Chemical goggles or face shield.
😷 Respiratory Protection
None required under normal conditions. When concentrations of sulfuric acid mist are known to exceed PEL, use NIOSH or MSHA-approved respiratory protection.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Acid-resistant apron. Under severe exposure or emergency conditions, wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, and boots.
