7. Handing and Storage
Under normal conditions of battery use, internal components will not present a health hazard
Handling
• Keep away from heat and sources of ignition
• Wash hands thoroughly after use
• Avoid sparks
• Avoid contact with metal jewelry and watches etc.
• Do not remove vent caps
• Do not double stack industrial batteries, it maybe cause damage
Storage
• Keep in cool and dry & Protect from heat
• 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
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Personal protection: Wear safety shoes with toe protector
Where internal components are liberated use rubber or neoprene boots
Wear goggles/safety glasses giving complete eye protection
Respiratory protection may be required under exceptional circumstances when excessive air contamination exists
