OSHA Hazards Preparation hazards and classification

Principle Routes of Exposure

These chemicals are contained in a sealed stainless steel enclosure or a sealed aluminum foil package. Risk of exposure occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically abused to the point of compromising the enclosure. If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution contained within can occur by inhalation, ingestion, eye contact and skin contact.

Potential health effects

ACUTE (short term): See Section 8 for exposure controls. In the event that this battery has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contained within the battery would be corrosive and can cause burns. Inhalation: The battery volatilizes no gas unless it is damaged. Damaged battery will volatilize gas that may stimulate the respiratory tract or cause an anaphylaxis in serious condition. Ingestion: Swallowing battery will be damaging to the digestive tract and cause chemical burns to the stomach; in serious conditions, it will cause permanent damage. Skin: In normal condition, contact between the battery and skin will not cause any harm. Contact with a damaged battery may cause skin allergies or chemical burns. Eye: In normal condition, contact between the battery and eyes will not cause any harms. However, the gas volatilized from a damaged battery may be harmful to eyes.

Long term hazards
