8.2 Engineering Controls
• Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to control sources of dust, mist, fumes and vapor.
• General room ventilation is sufficient during normal use and handling.
• Do not install these batteries in sealed, unventilated areas.
• Keep away from heat and open flame.
• Store in a cool, dry place following battery manual instructions.
• Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
8.3 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Eye and Face Protection Not necessary under normal conditions. Wear safety glasses if handling an open or leaking battery.
Skin and body Protection
Not necessary under normal conditions. For general safety,
• Wear nitrile rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.
• Do not wear metallic items such as watches or bracelets when working on the battery.
• Use insulated tools to prevent accidental short circuit.
Hand protection
Wear nitrile rubber material gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.
Respiratory Protection
Not necessary under normal conditions. In case of battery venting, provide as much ventilation as
possible. Avoid confined areas with venting batteries. A full-face positive pressure supplied-air
respirator or a self-contained breathing apparatus should be used in case of fire.
Other Protective Equipment Have a safety shower and eye wash fountain readily available in the immediate work area.
If lifting, wear steel-toed work boots.
Hygiene Measures
