To avoid injury, eye protection and acid-resistant
gloves must be worn when working around batteries.
Do not smoke, use open flame, make sparks, or create
other ignition sources around batteries. If a battery is
giving off gases, it can explode and cause injury to per-
sonnel. Remove all jewelry such as rings, ID tags,
watches, and bracelets. If jewelry or a tool contacts a
battery terminal, a direct short will result in instant
heating, damage to equipment, and injury to person-
nel.
Sulfuric acid contained in batteries can cause serious
burns. If battery corrosion or electrolyte makes contact
with skin, eyes or clothing, take immediate action to
stop the corrosive burning effects. Failure to follow
these procedures may result in injury or death to per-
sonnel.
