OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: ACUTE: ELECTROLYTE (WATER AND SULFURIC ACID SOLUTION):
  SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION, DAMAGE TO CORNEA MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS, UPPER
  RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LEAD COMPOUNDS: SYMPTOMS OF TOXICITY INCLUDE HEADACHE
  , FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES &  WEAKNESS,

Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: THE IARC HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG INORGANIC ACID
  MOST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY I CARCINOGEN, A SUBSTANCE THAT
  IS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMAN.  LEAD COMPOUNDS - LISTED AS A 2B CARCINOGEN. LEAD C
  OMPOUNDS: LISTED AS A 2B CARCINOGEN, LIKELY IN ANIMALS AT EXTREME DOSES.
  PROOF IN HUMANS IS LACKING AT PRESENT.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: INHALATION: ELECTROLYTE-BREATHING OF
  SULFURIC ACID VAPORS/MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIREATORY IRRITATION.
  LEAD-INHALATION OF LEAD DUSTS OR FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF UPPER
  RESPIRATORY TRACT & LUNGS . INGESTION: ELECTROLYTE-MAY CAUSE SEVERE
  IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS & STOMACH. LEAD-ACUTE INGESTION
  MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA & SEVERE CRAMPING.
  THIS MAY LEAD R APIDLY TO SYSTEM TOXICITY. SKIN: ELECTROLYTE-SEVERE
  IRRITATION, BURNS & ULCERATION. LEAD-NOT ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.
  EYE-ELECTROLYTE: SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. LEAD-MAY
  CA USEE EYE IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: OVEREXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MIST MAY
  CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE & AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS. CONTACT OF SULFURIC
  ACID WITH SKIN MAY AGGRIVATE SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA AND CONTACT
  DERMATITIS.
First Aid: INHALATION: ELECTROLYTE: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS
  DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. LEAD: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND
  LIPS, CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: ELECTROLYTE: GIVE LARGE QUANTI TIES OF
  WATER; DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. LEAD: CONSULT PHYSICIAN
  IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: ELECTROLYTE: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT
  WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES: ELECTROLYTE & LEAD: FLUSH  WITH LARGE AMOUNTS
*
Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL, CONTAIN/ABSORB SMALL SPILL
  WITH DRY SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE.  DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.  IF
  POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE WITH SODA ASH, SODIUM BIC
  SHEILD.  DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER. NEUTRAL ACID
  MUST BE MANAGED WITH LOCAL, STATE & FEDERAL REGS.
Neutralizing Agent: SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE).
Waste Disposal Methods: SPENT BATTERIES: SEND TO SECONDARY LEAD SMELTER FOR
  RECYCLING. ELETROLYTE: PLACE NEUTRALIZED SLURRY INTO SEALED CONTAINERS AND
  DISPOSE OF AS HAZARDOUS WASTE, AS APPLICABLE. LARGE WATER-DILUTED SPILLS, 
  AFTER NEUTRALIZATION AND TESTING SHOULD BE MANAGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL,
  STATE, FEDERAL REQUIRE MENTS. LABEL CONTAINERS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: STORE  BATTERIES UNDER ROOF IN COOL, DRY, 
  WELL VENTILATED AREAS, SEPARATED FROM INCOMPATABLE MATERIALS AND FROM
  ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY CREATE FLAMES, SPARKS, HEAT. STORE ON SMOOTH IMPERVIOUS
  SURFACE WH ICH ARE PROVIDED FOR LIQUID CONTAINMENT IN EVENT OF ACID SPILLS.
  PROTECT FROM SHORTING OFTERMINALS.
Other Precautions: HANDLE WITH CARE, AVOID TIPPING, WHICH MAY ALLOW ELECTROLYTE
  SPILL. SHUT-OFF POWER TO CHARGERS WHENEVER NOT IN USE AND BEFORE DETACHMENT.
  CHARGING BATTERIES GENERATE  HYDROGEN GAS. VENTILATE AREA. KEE P VENT CAPS IN
  POSITION. PROHIBIT SMOKING, AND AVOID CREATING FLAMES AND OR SPARKS NEARBY.
  WEAR EYE  AND FACE PROTECTION.
*
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information 
*
Flash Point Text: NON-FLAMMABLE
Lower Limits: 4.1% (H2)
Extinguishing Media: CO2, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures: USE POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
  NOT E THAT STRINGS OF SERIES CONNECTED BATTERIES MAY STILL POSE RISK OF
  ELECTRIC SHOCK  EVEN WHEN CHARGING IS SHUT DOWN.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: IN OPERATION, BATTERIES GENERATE/RELEASE
  FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. THEY MUST ALWAYS BE ASSUMED TO CONTAIN THIS GAS
  WHICH, IF IGNITED BY BURNING CIGARETTE, NAKED FLAME/SPARK, MAY CAUSE BATTERY
  EXPLOSION  WITH DISPERSION OF CASING FRAGMENTS/CORROSIVE LIQUID ELECTROLYTE.
  CAREFULLY FOLLOW MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTION.
*
*
Respiratory Protection: NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE. WHEN CONCENTRATIONS OF
  SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE NIOSH OR MSHA-APPROVED
  RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation: PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. STORE AND HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED
  AREA. IF MECHANICAL VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT.
  GAUNTLET.
Other Protective Equipment: WEAR ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE OR
Work Hygienic Practices: HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY, DO NOT TIP TO AVOID
  SPILLS. MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID BODILY CONTACT WITH
  INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
  IN AREAS WHERE WATER AND SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS ARE HANDLED IN
  CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 1% EMERGENCY  EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATIONS AND
  SHOWERS SHOULD B E PROVIDED  WITH UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY.
