Appropriate engineering controls
General room ventilation is sufficient during normal use and handing. Do not install these batteries in sealed,
unventilated areas. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a
safety shower.
Remove jewelry, rings, watches and any other metallic objects while working on battery. All tools should insulate
to avoid the possibility of shorting connections. DO NOT lay tools on top of the battery. The work area should be
equipped with the corresponding species and quantity of fire equipment and leakage emergency equipment.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
