SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media:
Suitable: Dry chemical, Sandy soil, Carbon dioxide or appropriate foam.
Firefighting:
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent
contact with skin and eyes.
Specific hazards:
Emit toxic fumes under fire conditions.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
If batteries show signs of leaking, avoid skin or eyes contact with the material leaking form the battery.
Use chemical resistant rubber gloves and non-flammable absorbent materials for clean-up. Mix with
inert material (e.g. dry sand, vermiculite) and transfer to sealed container for disposal.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame. Such batteries must be packed in inner
packages in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuits and to prevent movement which
could lead to short circuits. Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse and overcharge. More than a
momentary short circuit will generally reduce the battery service life. Avoid reversing battery polarity
within the battery assembly. In case of a battery unintentionally be crushed, acid resistant gloves must
be used to handle all battery components. Avoid contact with eyes, skin. Avoid inhalation. No smoking
at working site. Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidant, Combustible materials and Corrosives.
Storage:
Store in a cool; well-ventilated area. Keep away form ignition sources, heat and flame. Such
batteries must be packed in inner packages in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuits
and to prevent movement which could lead to short circuits. Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidant,
Combustible materials and Corrosives.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROL/PPE
Engineering Controls:
Use ventilation equipment if available. Safety shower and eye bath.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Respiratory: Wear government approved air-purifying respirator if needed.
Eye: Chemical safety glasses.
Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Hand: Wear acids resistant gloves.
Other Protect:
No smoking, drinking and eating at working site. Wash thoroughly after handing.
