4. FIRST AID MEASURES
A. EYE CONTACT If a battery ruptures/explodes, do not rub or scratch exposed eye. Immediately flush eyes with running water
for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
B. SKIN CONTACT If a battery ruptures/explodes, do not rub or scratch exposed skin. If liquid gets on the
skin, immediately flush the contaminated skin with water for at least 15 minutes. If liquid penetrates through the clothing,
immediately remove the clothing and shoes under a safety shower and continue to wash the skin for at least 15 minutes. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
C. INHALATION If a battery ruptures/explodes, move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of mist. If breathing has
stopped, perform artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
D. INGESTION If solutions of a battery chemicals have been swallowed and the person is
conscious, give one glass of water. Vomiting may occur spontaneously, but Do
NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
E. MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS, ACUTE OR DELAYED:
EYES: If a battery ruptures/explodes, direct contact with the liquid or exposure to vapors or mists may cause tearing, redness,
swelling, corneal damage and irreversible eye damage. Splashes of acid in the eyes will cause severe burns.
SKIN: Direct contact with acid inside of a battery can be severely irritating to the skin and may result in redness, swelling, burns
and severe skin damage. Skin contact may aggravate an
existing dermatitis condition
INHALATION: Not a likely route of exposure. If a battery ruptures/explodes, the acid or gas may be harmful or fatal if inhaled
in a confined area. May cause severe irritation and burns of the nose,
throat and respiratory tract.
