Fire Fighting Procedures:LEAD-ACID BATTERIES DO NOT BURN OR BURN WITH
DIFFICULTY. DO NOT USE WATER WHERE MOLTEN METAL IS PRESENT. USE
MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. COOL EXPOSED BATTERY TO
PREVENT RUPTURE. ACID MIST/ V APORS GENERATED ARE CORROSIVE. USE
NIOSH APPROVED SCBA, FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT OPERATED IN
POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN AND SULFURIC ACID VAPORS ARE
GENERATED ON OVERCHARGE AND CASE FAILURE. VENTILATE CHARGING AREAS.
HYDROGEN IS FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE WHEN MIXED WITH AIR, OXYGEN,
CHLORINE. KEEP SPARKS/ IGNITIO N SOURCES AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO
NOT SHORT CIRCUIT TERMINALS. SULFURIC ACID REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH
WATER/ORGANICS.

Spill Release Procedures:STOP RELEASE, IF POSSIBLE. AVOID CONTACT WITH
ANY SPILLED MATERIAL. CONTAIN SPILL, ISOLATE HAZARD AREA, AND DENY
ENTRY. LIMIT SITE ACCESS TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS. NEUTRALIZE WITH
SODIUM BICARBONATE, S ODA ASH, LIME OR OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
PLACE BATTERY IN SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. DISPOSE OF
CONTAMINATED MATERIAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL, STATE,
AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME, OR OTHERS. KEEP
A SUPPLY OF NEUTRALIZING AGENT ON-SITE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES DURING AND
IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHARGING. COMBUSTION OR OVERCHARGING MAY CREATE
OR LIBERATE TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS GASES AND LIQUIDS INCLUDING
HYDROGEN, SULFURIC ACID MIST, SULFUR DIOX IDE, SULFUR TRIOXIDE,
STIBINE, ARSINE AND SULFURIC ACID. STORE BATTERIES IN COOL DRY,
(CONTD. BELOW)
Other Precautions:(CONTD. FROM ABOVE) WELL-VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT
SHORT CIRCUIT TERMINALS, OR REMOVE VENT CAPS DURING STORAGE OR
RECHARGING. PROTECT BATTERY FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. GOOD PERSONAL
HYGIENE AND WORK PRACTIC ES ARE MANDATORY. NO EATING, DRINKING,
SMOKING IN WORK AREAS. WASH HANDS, FACE, NECK, ARMS (CONTD. SEE
"TOXICOLOGICAL")

Respiratory Protection:ACID/GAS NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IS REQUIRED
WHEN THE PEL IS EXCEEDED OR EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCES RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION. WHEN EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE UNKNOWN OR WHEN FIREFIGHTING,
WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED BRE ATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL FACEPIECE
OPERATED IN A POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Ventilation:PROVIDE WHEN CHARGING IN ENCLOSED AREA. CHANGE AIR EVERY 15
MIN. LOCAL EXHAUST: WHEN PEL IS EXCEEDED. MECHANICAL (GENERAL):
NORMAL MECHANICAL FOR FIXED AREAS.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID-RESISTANT WITH ELBOW LENGTH
GAUNTLET FOR FILLING BATTERY
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES W/ SIDE SHIELDS/FACE SHIELD
RECOMMENDED.
Other Protective Equipment:VENTILATION AS DESCRIBED BY ACGIH SHALL BE
PROVIDED IN AREAS WHERE EXPOSURE ARE ABOVE PEL OR TLV.
ACID-RESISTANT RUBBER OR PLASTIC APRON, BOOTS AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. SAFETY SHOWER AND EYEWASH STATION
Work Hygienic Practices:GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE AND WORK PRACTICES ARE
MANDATORY. REFRAIN FROM EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING IN WORK AREAS.

Ecological:IN MOST SURFACE WATER AND GROUNDWATER, LEAD FORMS COMPOUNDS
WITH ANIONS SUCH AS HYDROXIDES, CARBONATES, SULFATES, PHOSPHATES
AND PRECIPHATES OUT OF WATER COLUMN. LEAD MAY OCCUR AS SORBED IONS
OR SURFA CE COATINGS ON SEDIMENT MINERSL PARTICLES OR MAY BE
CARRIED IN COLLOIDAL PARTICLES IN SURFACE WATER. MOST LEAD IS
STRONGLY RETAINED IN SOIL, RESULTING IN LITTLE MOBILITY. LEAD MAY
BE IMMOBILIZED BY IO N EXCHANE WITH HYDROUS OXIDES OR CLAYS OR BY
CHELATION WITH HUMIC OR FULVIC ACIDS IN THE SOIL. LEAD (DISSOLVED
PHASE) IS BIO-ACCUMULATED BY PLANTS AND ANIMALS, BOTH AQUATIC AND
TERRESTRIAL.
