PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise

9

when working near a lead-acid battery.

Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

9

Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.

9

clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
