===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE CAUSES
IMMEDIATE SEVERE DAMAGE; MAY RESULT IN BLINDNESS. CONTACT WITH
ELECTROLYTE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS TO SKIN. CONTACT WITH NICKEL
MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION, ECZEMA OR NICKEL ITCH. INGESTION OF
ELECTROLYTE CAUSES THROAT TISSUE DAMAGE AND GI TRACT DAMAGE.
INGESTION OF NICKEL CAUSES NAUSEA & INTESTINAL DISORDERS.
INHALED-INHALATION OF KOH MIST CAUSES IRRITATION OF NAS AL MUCOUS
AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. INHALATION OF CADMIUM OXIDE MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, CHILLS. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO CADMIUM
COMPOUNDS MAY RESULT IN PULMONARY EDEMA, KIDNEY DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NIOSH RECOMMENDS THAT NICKEL & CADMIUM
BE TREATED AS OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES-BLINDESS, SEVERE DAMAGE, IRRITATION.
SKIN-SERIOUS BURNS, ITCH. INGESTED-TISSUE DAMAGE TO THROAT & GI
TRACT, NAUSEA, INTESTINAL DISORDERS. INHALED-IRRITATION OF NASAL
MUCOUS MEMBRANES & RESPIRATOR Y TRACT TISSUES; CADMIUM OXIDE-DRY
THROAT, COUGH, HEADACHE, VOMITING, CHEST PAIN, CHILLS, BREATHING
DIFFICULTY, PROSTRATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:ELECTROLYTE:EYES-FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN-REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHES & FLLUSH AFFECTED AREAS WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST
15 MINU TES. INGESTED-DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! DILUTE BY GIVING
WATER. IF AVAILABLE GIVE SEVERAL GLASSES OF MILK. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON. INHALE D-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION IF NEEDED. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
NICKEL:SKIN-WASH WITH COLD WATER & SOAP.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO
AVOID BREATHING TOXIC FUMES. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT
TO PREVENT POTENTIAL BODY CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OR
MIXTURE OF WATER & SOLUTION. DISCONNECT OR CUT CABLES TO & FROM
BATTERY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ELECTOLYTE IS CORROSIVE. REACTS VIOLENTLY
WITH MANY ORGANIC CHEMICALS, ESPECIALLY NITROCARBONS &
CHLOROCARBONS. ELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS REACTS WITH ZINC, ALUMINUM,
TIN & OTHER ACTIVE MATERIALS RELEASING FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.
CADMIUM FUMES MAY BE RELEASED UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS; DO
NOT BREATH SMOKE & FUMES!
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:ELECTROLYTE/SMALL: FLUSH WITH WATER &
NEUTRALIZE WITH DILUTE CITRIC ACID. LARGE 9MORE THAN 5 GALLONS):
CONTAIN MATERIAL IN SUITABLE CONTAINERS OR HOLDING AREA. DO NOT
ALLOW MATERIAL INTO SEWERS, STREA MS OR STORM CONDUITS. RECOVER
MATERIAL WITH VACUUM TRUCK & DISPOSE OF PROPERLY. REPORTABLE
QUANTITY (ELECTROLYTE): 1000 LBS, 40 CFR 117.13.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE CITRIC ACID.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT TRANSPORT BATTERIES WITHOUT
BATTERIES WITHOUT VENT CAP IN PLACE. WHEN REMOVING BATTERY FROM
SERVICE VISUALLY INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE PRIOR TO HANDLING.IF LEAKAGE
AHS OCCURED, FOLLOW SPILL PROCEDURE S. DO NOT ALLOW AN EXPOSED
FLAME OR SPARK TO COME NEAR CELLS.
Other Precautions:THESE CELLS & THE BATTERIES CONSTRUCTED FROM THEM MAY
BE HIGHLY CHARGED AND ARE CAPABLE OF HIGH ENERGY DISCHARGE. CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN TO HANDLE CELLS PROPERLY TO AVOID SHORTING OR
MISUSE THAT WILL RE SULT IN RESULT IN RAPID UNCONTROLLED
ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL OR HEAT ENERGY RELEASE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR DURING LEVEL
CHANGING TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW THE TWA.
Ventilation:PERFORM LEVEL CHARGING PROCEDURES IN A WELL VENTILATED
AREA. BATTERY OPERATING AREAS MUST BE WELL VENTILATED TO REMOVE
NORMAL GASES GENERATED.
Protective Gloves:WATER-INSOLUBLE NON-PERMEABLE GLOVE-SYNTHETIC RUBBER.
DO NOT USE WOOL OR LEATHR
Eye Protection:USE SPLASH GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD WHENEVER HANDLING A
BATTERY.
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER BOOTS, RUBBER APRON OR RAIN WEAR OR
EQUIVALENT IF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION IS
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
