Section 8:Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection
General:
Normal room ventilation is sufficient during normal use and handling.
Personal Protective Equipment (in the Event of Battery Case Breakage):
Always wear safety glasses with side shields or full-face shield.
Use rubber or neoprene glove.
Wear acid resistant boots, apron or clothing.
Work / Hygienic Practices:
Remove jewelry, rings, watcher and any other metallic objects while working on
batteries. All tools should be adequately insulated to avoid the possibility of shorting
connections. Do not lay tools on top of battery. Be sure to discharge static electricity
from tools and individual person by touching a grounded surface in the vicinity of the
batteries, but away from cells. Batteries are heavy. Serious injury can result from
improper lifting or installation. Do not lift, carry, install or remove cells by lifting or
pulling the terminal posts for safety reasons and because terminal posts and post seals
may be damaged. Do not wear nylon clothes or overalls as they can create static
electricity. Do keep a fire extinguisher and emergency communications device in the
work area.
