4. First Aid Measures
In case of electrolyte leakage from the battery, necessary actions to be taken are described as
follows.
Skin contact : Wash the contact skin area off immediately with plenty of clean water such
as tap water using a mild soap, otherwise it might cause sore on the skin.
Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Eye contact
Inhalation
: Flush the eyes with plenty of clean water such as tap water for more than
15 minutes without rubbing and immediately take a medical treatment.
If appropriate procedures are not taken, it may cause a loss of sight.
: Move the exposed person to fresh air area immediately.
And take a medical treatment immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
1. Suitable fire extinguishing media are dry sand and chemical powder fire extinguisher.
2. When in firefighting, the air respiratory protection should be used because acrid or harmful gas
might be generated when fire is extinguished.
3. Remove combustibles at once from a firefighting area.
4. Remove the batteries to safe area at once from firefighting place.
6. Accidental release measures (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery)
Personal precautions
: Wear proper protective equipment.
Environmental Precautions : Prevent spills form entering sewers, watercourses.
Spill Clean-Up Procedures
: Collect material to minimize dust generationuse wet mop,
