PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory
Protection
None required under normal handling conditions. During battery formation (high-rate charge condition),
acid mist can be generated, which may cause respiratory irritation. If irritation occurs, wear a respirator
suitable for protection against acid mist.
Eyes and Face
Chemical splash goggles are preferred. Also acceptable are “Visor-Gogs” or a chemical face shield worn
over safety glasses with solid side shields.
Hands, Arms, and Body
Vinyl-coated, PVC, gauntlet-type gloves with rough finish.
Other Special Clothing and Equipment
Safety shoes worn with rubber or neoprene boots or steel-toed rubber or neoprene boots worn over
socks. Place pants legs over boots to keep acid out of boots. All footwear must meet requirements of
ANSI Z41.1 - Rev. 1972.
VIII. Safe Handling Precautions
Hygiene Practices
Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, or smoking after handling batteries.
Protective Measures to be Taken During Non-Routine Tasks, Including Equipment Maintenance
Wear recommended eye protection. If clothing becomes saturated with acid, remove and wash affected
area with water for 15 minutes. Discard saturated clothing.
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Protective Measures to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled
Remove combustible materials and all sources of ignition. Contain spill by diking with soda ash (sodium
carbonate) or quicklime (calcium oxide). Cover spill with either chemical. Mix well. Make certain the
mixture is neutral, then collect residue and place in a drum or other suitable container. Dispose of as a
hazardous waste.
Wear acid-resistant boots, chemical face shield, chemical splash goggles, and acid-resistant gloves.
DO NOT RELEASE UNNEUTRALIZED ACID!
OTHER HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
An eyewash fountain and safety shower should be located in or near the production or storage area(s) for
lead/lead acid batteries. Such storage areas should be equipped with a containment facility, which
captures acid spills so that they may be neutralized, collected, and disposed of properly.
