Section 3—Hazards Identification
Hazards Rating (HMIS System) for Sealed Lead Acid Battery
      Health               0
      Flammability          0
      Reactivity            0
Potential Health Effects
None expected for finished product under normal conditions of use.
Fire and Explosion
The sealed lead acid battery is not considered flammable, but it will burn if involved in a fire. Short circuit can also result in fire. Evacuate area. Self-contained apparatus must be worn to prevent possible inhalation of acid mists, smoke and decomposition products in a fire. Remove all ignition sources. Cool battery(s) to prevent rupture.

Section 4--- First-Aid Measures
Sulfuric Acid Precautions:
Skin contact: Flush with water, see physician if contact area is larger or if blister form.
Eye contact: Call physician immediately and flush with water until physician arrives.
Ingestion: Call physician. If patient is conscious, flush mouth with water, have the patient drink milk of sodium bicarbonate solution.
DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Section 5---Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media
Multi purpose dry chemical or multi purpose CO2.
Fire fighting procedures
Evacuate area. Self-contained breathing apparatus must be worn to prevent possible inhalation of acid mists, smoke and decomposition products in a fire. Remove all ignition sources. Cool battery(s) to prevent rupture.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards
Hydrogen gas maybe produced and may explode if ignited. Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area.

Section 6---Accidental Release Measures
Leakage or Spill
If sulfuric acid is spilled from a battery—Neutralize the acid with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium carbon (soda ash), or calcium oxide (lime). Flush the area with water and discard to the sewage system.
Do not allow unneutralized acid into sewage system.
Waste Disposal
Neutralized acid may be flushed down the sewer. Spent batteries must be treated as hazardous waste and disposal of according to local state and federal regulations. A copy of this material safety data must be supplied to any scrap dealer or secondary lead smelter with battery.

Section 7---Handling and storage
Handling
Do not carry battery by terminals. Do not drop battery, puncture or attempt to open battery case. Keep away from flame during

and immediately after charge. Avoid prolonged overcharges in confined areas.
Storage
Store at ambient room temperature. Do not subject product to open flame or fire. Avoid conditions which could cause arching between battery terminals.
Hygiene
Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking after handling batteries.

Section 8---Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Lead
The toxic effects of the lead are accumulative and slow to appear. It affects the kidneys, reproductive nerve system. The symptoms of lead over exposure are anemia, vomiting, headache, stomach pain (lead colic), dizziness, loss of appetite and
muscle and joint pain. Exposure to lead from battery most often occurs during lead reclaim operations through the
breathing or ingestion of lead dust and fumes.
Lead compounds exposure limits is 0.05 mg/m3
THIS DATA MUST BE PASSED TO ANY SCRAP DEALER OR SMELTER WHEN BATTERY SESOLD
Sulfuric Acid
Sulfuric acid is a strong corrosive. Contact with acid can cause severe burns on the skin and eyes. Ingestion of sulfuric
acid will cause GI tract burns. Acid can be released if the battery case is damaged or if the vents are tampered with.
Sulfuric acid Electrolyte exposure limits is 1.00 mg/m3 OSHA
Fiberglass Separators
Fiberglass is an irritant of the upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes. For exposure up to 10F/CC, MSA Comfoll with type H filter. Above 10F/CC up to 50F/CC use ultra twin type H filter. This product is not considered carcinogenic by NTP or OSHA.
Personal Protection
Eye:            Not necessary under normal conditions of use for finished product.
Skin:           Not necessary under normal conditions of use for finished product.
Respiratory:      Not necessary under normal conditions of use for finished product.
Ventilation:      Not necessary under normal conditions of use for finished product.
Work Practices:   Not necessary under normal conditions of use for finished product.
