Batteries present a risk if they become

electrolyte. This electrolyte is an acid and can
cause serious burn injuries. Care should be
taken when working on or near them.

Should you come in to contact with electrolyte
you should;

electrolyte. If you cannot remove then saturate
them in water.
• Get medical assistance as soon as possible.
You must advise the medical staff of the type
of acid.
• Lead/acid battery = dilute sulphuric acid.

alkali electrolyte.
• Use fresh running water to wash off excess
electrolyte, continue this until medical
assistance arrives. Make sure that you do not
move the electrolyte to another part of your
body or face.
• If electrolyte comes in to contact with eyes
the electrolyte needs to be immediately
washed away with large amounts of water.
Make sure that you do not wash the
electrolyte to another part of your face or
body.
