First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move injured person into fresh air and keep person under observation. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Skin contact

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Eye contact

Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT induce vomiting because of danger of aspirating liquid into lungs. Get medical attention immediately.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention immediately (for ingestion).

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog.

Unsuitable media

Do NOT use water on live electrical circuits.

Specific hazards

Batteries evolve flammable hydrogen gas during charging and may increase fire risk. Containers may explode when heated. Like any sealed container, battery cells may rupture when exposed to excessive heat; this could result in the release of corrosive and flammable materials.

Instructions

In case of fire do not breathe fumes. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches explosives. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

Firefighter Protection

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.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

In the event of damage resulting in a leak of exposed materials, avoid contact with contents of an open or damaged cell or battery. Avoid contact with skin.

Environmental

Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams.

Cleanup methods

Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

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. Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. 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. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must not handle this product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid release to the environment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.

Storage

Store in original tightly closed container. Protect containers from damage. Place cardboard between layers of stacked batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.

Hygiene

Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.

Fire prevention

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.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide adequate ventilation. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.

Hands

None under normal conditions. Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Glove material: Nitrile rubber Layer thickness: 0.152 or 0.381 mm Breakthrough time: 240 or 480 min. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.

Eyes

None under normal conditions. Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.

Respiratory

None under normal conditions. In the event that cell or battery is damaged, open, or leaking, respiratory protection should be worn where there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines.

Skin/Body

None under normal conditions. Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
