injury. Never smoke around batteries or expose
them to sparks or open flames. Wear personal
protective equipment (PPE) when working with
batteries. Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Burns or injury can occur if battery acid makes
contact with skin or eyes. Flush the area
immediately with fresh water and seek medical
attention.
Failure to follow these cautions could result in
