Thermal hazards
General hygiene
considerations
None under normal conditions. Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Wear safety glasses with
side shields (or goggles).
None under normal conditions. Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Wear appropriate
chemical resistant gloves.
None under normal conditions. Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Wear suitable protective
clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
None under normal conditions.
When material is heated, wear gloves to protect against thermal burns.
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants.
