1.4 Safety Precautions!
1. Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can generate explosive gases
during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery. Provide
sufficient ventilation around the battery.
2. Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your
hands when done.
3. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 15 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
4. Be careful when using metal tools in vicinity of batteries. Dropping a metal tool onto a battery
might cause a short-circuit battery and, possibly an explosion.
5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to melt a ring or the like to
metal, causing severe burns.
