First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathingis difficult, give oxygen. Consult aphysician.

Skin contact

Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including shoes. If symptomspersist,seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothingbefore reuse. Discard contaminated shoes.

Eye contact

Flush immediatelywith large amounts of water for a least 15 minutes;consultphysician.

Ingestion

Give large quantities of water; do not induce vomiting or aspiration into the lungs may occur and can cause permanent injury or death; consult aphysician.

Immediate Medical Attention

Consult a physician. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

CO2; foam; dry chemical; water; water fog.

Unsuitable media

Water applied to sulfuric acid generates heat and causes acid to splatter.

Specific hazards

Reacts violently with metals, nitrates, chlorates, carbides and other organic materials. Reacts with most metals to yield explosive and flammable hydrogengas.

Firefighter Protection

Wear full-cover sulfuric acid resistant clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If possible, carefully neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves and face shield. Do not allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer.

Small spill

contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth or vermiculite.

Environmental

Do not allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer.

Cleanup methods

contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth or vermiculite. If possible, carefully neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.

Materials: dry sand, earth or vermiculite, soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle cautiously; avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Storage

Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas with impervious surfaces and adequate containment in the event of spills.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Store and handle in well-ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used, components must be acid-resistant.

Hands

Use rubber or plastic acid-resistant gloves with elbow-length gauntlet.

Eyes

Use chemical goggles or face shield. Face shield recommended when adding water or electrolyte to batteries.

Respiratory

None required under normal conditions. When concentrations of sulfuric acid mist are known to exceed the PEL, use NIOSH or MSHA-approved respiratory protection.

Skin/Body

Acid-resistant apron, clothing, and boots. Under severe exposure emergency conditions, wear acid-resistant clothing and boots.
