maybehaveasaprojectile.Theelectrolyteinsidethecellmaycauseveryserious
irritationtotherespiratorytract,eyesandskin.Inaddition,ventingmaycause
theemissionofhighly corrosivevapoursintheworkenvironment.Inthiscase,
all protectiveequipment suited to limit exposure to toxic fumes must be avai‐

MINIMUMEQUIPMENTREQUIRED:
•ClassDfireextinguisher
•Eyeprotectionorfaceshield
•Respiratorwithfilterforhydrochloricacidandsulphurdioxide
• Neoprenegloves
•Acid‐resistantlabcoats
• Bakingsoda,calciumoxideoracidabsorbentinkitform
•Vermiculite
•Plasticbags
PROCEDURE:
Intheeventofelectrolytereleasefromthecells,proceedasfollows:
• Evacuatethepeopleexpose
dtofumesfromthearea.
•Airtheenvironmentunt ilthecompleteremovalof thecellanduntilthecha‐
racteristicpungentodourhasdisappeared.
•Ifthecellistoohot,allowittocooltoambienttemperaturebeforehandlingit.
•Wearsafetyequipment:coat,gloves,maskandfilters,andmoveth
ecelltoa
well‐ventilatedarea.
•Placeeverycellinasealableplasticbagandremovetheexcessair,thenseal
thebag.
•Placeacupofvermiculiteinasecondbag,placethefirstbaginthesecondand
sealit.
•Placeeverythinginathirdbagwithsomesodaandsealthebag.
•A
bsorbandcollecttheleak ed electrolytewithabsorbentmaterialorsoda.
•Placetheabsorbentmaterialinabagandsealit.
•Cleantheareawithplentyofwater.
•Disposeofthehazardousmaterialinaccordancewiththelocallegislati onin
