| SECTION 4: HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION | |
UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE INTERNAL MATERIAL WILL NOT BE
HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. ONLY INTERNALLY EXPOSED MATERIAL DURING
PRODUCTION OR CASE BREAKAGE OR EXTREME HEAT (FIRE) MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO
YOUR HEALTH.
| SECTION 5: SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF OVER EXPOSURE | |
ACUTE EFFECTS:
OVER EXPOSURE TO LEAD MAY LEAD TO LOSS OF APPETITE, CONSTIPATION,
SLEEPLESSNESS AND FATIGUE. OVER EXPOSURE TO ACID MAY LEAD TO SKIN
IRRITATION, CORNEAL DAMAGE OF THE EYES AND UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
LEAD AND ITS COMPONENTS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO KIDNEYS AND NERVOUS SYSTEM.
ACID AND ITS COMPONENTS MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE AND PULMONARY CONDITIONS.
POTENTIAL TO CAUSE CANCER:
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG
INORGANIC ACID MIST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY 1 CARCINOGEN,
A SUBSTANCE THAT IS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS. THIS CLASSIFICATION DOES NOT
APPLY TO LIQUID FORMS OF SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS CONTAINED
WITHIN A BATTERY. INORGANIC ACID MIST IS NOT GENERATED UNDER NORMAL USE OF
THIS PRODUCT. MISUSE OF THE PRODUCT, SUCH AS OVERCHARGING, MAY HOWEVER
RESULT IN THE GENERATION OF SULFURIC ACID MIST.
| SECTION 6: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES | |
INHALATION:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND APPLY OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT.
SKIN: WASH WITH PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE ANY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
EYES:
FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER IMMEDIATELY FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION: CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS DETERMINED THAT CERTAIN BATTERY TERMINALS AND
RELATED ACCESSORIES CONTAIN LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS, CHEMICALS KNOWN TO
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
WARNING: WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING BATTERIES.
| SECTION 7: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA | |
FLASH POINT:
HYDROGEN: 259 DEG. C
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE:
HYDROGEN: 580 DEG. C
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CO2
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN GASES ARE PRODUCED IN THE CELLS DURING NORMAL BATTERY
OPERATION (HYDROGEN IS FLAMMABLE AND OXYGEN SUPPORTS COMBUSTION). THESE
GASES ENTER THE AIR THROUGH THE VENT CAPS. TO AVOID THE CHANCE OF A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION, KEEP SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
| SECTION 8: REACTIVITY DATA | |
STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):
1. LEAD/LEAD COMPOUNDS:
POTASSIUM, CARBIDES, SULFIDES, PEROXIDES, PHOSPHORUS, SULFUR.
2. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID):
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, STRONG REDUCING AGENTS, MOST METALS, CARBIDES,
ORGANIC MATERIALS, CHLORATES, NITRATES, PICRATES, AND FULMINATES.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
1. LEAD/LEAD COMPOUNDS: OXIDES OF LEAD AND SULFUR.
2. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID):
HYDROGEN, SULFUR DIOXIDE, AND SULFUR TRIOXIDE.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
HIGH TEMPERATURE. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) WILL REACT WITH WATER TO
PRODUCE HEAT. CAN REACT WITH OXIDIZING OR REDUCING AGENTS.
| SECTION 9: CONTROL MEASURES | |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
STORE LEAD/ACID BATTERIES WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. ROOM VENTILATION IS
REQUIRED FOR BATTERIES UTILIZED FOR STANDBY POWER GENERATION. NEVER
RE-CHARGE BATTERIES IN AN UNVENTILATED ENCLOSED SPACE.
WORK PRACTICES:
DO NOT REMOVE VENT CAPS. FOLLOW SHIPPING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS, WHICH
ARE APPLICABLE TO THE BATTERY TYPE. TO AVOID DAMAGE TO TERMINALS AND SEALS,
DO NOT DOUBLE-STACK INDUSTRIAL BATTERIES.
| SECTION 10: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL HANDLING CONDITIONS. DURING BATTERY FORMATION
(HIGH-RATE CHARGE CONDITION), ACID MIST CAN BE GENERATED WHICH MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. ALSO, IF ACID SPILLAGE OCCURS IN A CONFINED SPACE,
EXPOSURE MAY OCCUR. IF IRRITATION OCCURS, WEAR A RESPIRATOR SUITABLE FOR
PROTECTION AGAINST ACID MIST.
EYES AND FACE:
CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES ARE PREFERRED. ALSO ACCEPTABLE ARE "VISOR-GOGS" OR
A CHEMICAL FACE SHIELD WORN OVER SAFETY GLASSES.
HANDS, ARMS, BODY:
VINYL COATED, VC, GAUNTLET TYPE GLOVES WITH ROUGH FINISH ARE PREFERRED.
OTHER SPECIAL CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT:
SAFETY SHOES ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES. ALL FOOTWEAR MUST
MEET REQUIREMENTS OF ANSI Z41.1 - REV. 1972.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE:
| SECTION 11: HYGIENE PRACTICES | |
FOLLOWING CONTACT WITH INTERNAL BATTERY COMPONENTS, WASH HAND THOROUGHLY
BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, OR SMOKING.
| SECTION 12: RESPIRATORY PROTECTION | |
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. DO NOT PERMIT FLAMES OR SPARKS IN THE VICINITY OF
BATTERY(S). IF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) COMES IN CONTACT WITH CLOTHING,
DISCARD CLOTHING.
| SECTION 13: PROTECTIVE MEASURES | |
A. REMOVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. COVER SILLS
WITH SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE) OR QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE). MIX WELL.
MAKE CERTAIN MIXTURE IS NEUTRAL THEN COLLECT RESIDUE AND PLACE IN A DRUM OR
OTHER SUITABLE CONTAINER. DISPOSE OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
B. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT BOOTS, CHEMICAL FACE SHIELD, CHEMICAL SPLASH
GOGGLES, AND ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES. DO NOT RELEASE UN-NEUTRALIZED ACID.
| SECTION 14: WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD | |
NEUTRALIZED ACID MAY BE FLUSHED DOWN THE SEWER. SPENT BATTERIES MUST BE
TREATED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE AND DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL STATE, AND
FEDERAL REGULATIONS. A COPY OF THIS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA MUST BE SUPPLIED
TO ANY SCRAP DEALER OR SECONDARY SMELTER WITH BATTERY.
OTHER HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: NONE REQUIRED.
