Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:NOTE: LEAD APPEARS ON THE NAVY LISTING
OF OCCUPATIONAL CHEMICAL REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS. SEEK CONSULTATION
FROM APPROPRIATE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CONCERNING LATEST HAZARD LIST
INFORMATION AND SAFE HANDLIN G AND EXPOSURE INFORMATION . ACUTE:
TISSUE DESTRUCTION ON CONTACT. MAY CAUSE 2ND AND (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: 3RD DEGREE BURNS OR BLINDNESS.
INGESTION WILL CAUSE CORROSIVE BURNS ON CONTACT. MAY BE FATAL IF
SWALLOWED. CHRONIC: INHALATION OF MISTS MAY CAUSE UPPER RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION. SIGNS AND SYMP TOMS: IRRITATION AND BURNING OF
EXPOSEDTISSUE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE
AGGRAVATED BY PROLONGED INHALATION OF MISTS.

First Aid:SKIN/EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DRINK LARGE
QUANTITIES OF MILK OR WATER. INHALATION: GIVE CPR IF BREATHING HAS
STOPPED. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, HALON, OR CARBON DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . VENTILATE THE AREA WELL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE PRESENT. HYDROGEN GAS
AND ACID MIST IS GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGE OR IN FIRES. VENTILATE
AREA.

Spill Release Procedures:STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF BATTERY IS BROKEN:
NEUTRALIZE EXPOSED BATTERY PARTS W/SODA ASH/SODIUM BICARBONATE
UNTIL FIZZING STOPS. PH SHOULD BE NEUTRAL AT 6-8. WHEN NEUTRAL,
BATTERY PARTS ARE NON-HAZARDOUS. PLACE BROKEN BATTERY IN A HEAVY
GUAGE (SUPDAT)
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY AREA AWAY FROM
COMBUSTIBLES. DO NOT STORE IN SEALED, UNVENTILATED AREAS. AVOID
OVERHEATING AND OVERCHARGING.
Other Precautions:DO NOT USE ORGANIC SOLVENTS OR OTHER THAN RECOMMENDED
CHEMICAL CLEANERS ON BATTERIES.

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED ACID MIST RESPIRATOR, IF OSHA PEL
IS EXCEEDED.
Ventilation:GEN ROOM VENT IS SUFFICIENT DURING NORM USE & HNDLG. REC 2
TO 3 ROOM AIR CHANGES PER HR TO PVNT BUILDUP OF HYDROGEN GAS.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR NEOPRENE GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEM WORKERS GOGGS(ING 11)
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH FOUNTAIN & DELUGE SHOWER WHICH MEET
ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA . ACID RESISTANT APRON OR CLOTHES.
Work Hygienic Practices:DO NOT WEAR METALLIC JEWELRY WHEN WORKING
W/BATTERIES. USE NON-CONDUCTIVE TOOLS ONLY. DISCHARGE STATIC (ING
