Section 4 first-aid measures
The valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are not hazardous with eye and skincontact under
normal
circumstance. In case of internal hazardous substanceleaking, following measures should be taken if
body
parts contact with these
substance:
AFTER SKIN
CONTACT:
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of

Section 5 fire-fighting measures
Characteristics of Hazard : Toxic fumes; gases or vapors may evolve on
burning.
Hazardous Combustion Products: CO, CO2, acid, hydrogen and oxygen
gas
Fire-extinguishing Methods and Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate
foam
Attention in Fire-extinguishing: The Firemen should put on antigas masks and full fire-fighting
suits.
Section 6 accidental release measures
When leakage of batteries happens, liquid could be absorbed with sands, earth, or other inert substance, and
the
contaminated area should be ventilated meantime. Damaged batteries that are not hot or burning should be placed in
a
sealed plastic bag or
container.
Section 7 handling and storage

room
temperature(<30℃) in ventilating and dehumidifying
environments
Section 8 exposure controls/personal protection
Maximum Allowable Concentration: No Standard
available
Engineering Controls: no engineering controls are required for handling batteries that have not been
damaged.
Personal protective equipments for damaged batteries should include chemical resistant gloves and safety
glasses.
