2.2 Safety Precautions for Working Around Lead Acid
Batteries
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Follow these
precautions, and those published by the battery manufacturer, to reduce
the risk of explosion.
1. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.
2. Ensure the battery compartment is well ventilated, in accordance with
all codes applicable to the installation.
3. For flooded batteries, check acid level periodically and fill with distilled
water per manufacturer’s instructions, to reduce the remaining space
in the cells where explosive gases can collect.
4. Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.
1. Wear eye protection and protective clothing.
2. If battery acid or corrosive by-products contact skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. In the event of eye contact,
immediately flush with running water for 20 minutes, then seek prompt
medical attention.
3. Always ensure someone is nearby to help you in the event of an
emergency.
4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, watches, bracelets etc.
and be careful not to drop metal or tools on the battery. Contact to the
battery terminals may result in a short circuit, causing severe burns or
triggering an explosion.
WARNING! Explosion hazard.
CAUTION! Batteries contain corrosive materials and present a
safety hazard.
