EYES
Immediatelywashtheeyesinabundantrunningwaterforatleast15minutes,ke‐
epingtheeyelidsopenandflushingtheeyeandbackoftheeyelid.Immediately
seekmedicalhelp.
SKIN
Washincoldwaterunderashower,removecontaminatedgarments.Continue
washingforatleast15minutes.Seekmed
icalhelpwherenecessary.
RESPIRATORYTRACT
Movethecasualtyoutdoorsintotheopenair.Ifthecasualtyhasdifficultybrea‐
thing,haveoxygenadministeredbytrainedpersonnel.Ifbreathingstops,apply
mouth‐to‐mouthresuscitationandimmediatelyseekemergencymedicalhelp.
12.18.1.4.Procedureforexplodedcells
Theexplosionoflithiumbatteries isnot likely,itisara
reeventthatonlyoccurs
whenanabnormalconditioncausesthe temperaturetoriseandreachacritical
point.However,intheeventoflithiumbatteryexplosionthe environmentwill
quicklybefilledwithdense whitesmokewhichwillcauseseriousirritationtothe
respiratorytract,eyesandskin.Precautionsmustbetakentoli
mitexposureto
thesefumes.
MINIMUMEQUIPMENTREQUI RED:
•ClassDfireextinguisher
•ClassABCextinguisherforanysecondaryfires
•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cellexplosion,pr
oceedasfollows:
•Evacuatepersonnelfromtheareascontaminatedbysmoke.
•Ventilatetheroomsuntilthecellhas beenremovedfromtheareaanduntilthe
characteristicpungentodourhasdisappeared.
