7) Battery cell vent plugs or caps should be tightly secured except during chargingwhen they should be loose. The ventilation tubes of battery boxes should beexamined regularly to ensure that they are free from obstruction.New technology and developments in stored energy devices (batteries) offer differentalternatives to many systems now being used on crews. Each battery is constructeddifferently and requires special handling and safeguard procedures. Know the type ofbattery you are using and consult the manufacturer’s safety and handling instructionsbefore installing, charging or placing in service.3.16.1.1 Lead-acid Batteries1) Acid electrolytes are highly corrosive. Immediate remedial action should be taken towash off any accidental splashes on the person or on the equipment. Hands andclothes should always be washed as soon as the work is complete.2) To neutralize acid on skin or clothes, ample quantities of water should be used.3) Goggles, rubber gloves and a protective apron should be worn when acid is handled.3.16.1.2 Lithium Batteries1) Never attempt to charge a lithium battery, unless designed to be charged, such asthe batteries in Laptops.2) Never short-circuit a lithium battery.3) Lithium batteries are transported and stored under regulated and usually restrictedconditions. Consult the battery manufacturer or original shipping containers for exactstorage and use/care instructions.4) Special lithium fire extinguishers (Lith-X) should always be on hand to be used in theevent of a lithium fire.5) Do not expose lithium batteries to moisture and protect individual batteries fromcontacting any metal source (including other lithium batteries) during storage.6) Correct disposal must be done. NEVER PUT IN A FIRE.Page 54 of 136
3.16.2 Hydrogen Sulfide (H 2 S)3.16.2.1 Hazards and CharacteristicsPersonnel should receive appropriate H 2 S training before working in areas where anH 2 S hazard exists. This training should be documented.H 2 S is most likely to be encountered where there is oil and gas production, pipelines andsewage plants. The principal hazard of H 2 S is death by inhalation. When the amount ofgas absorbed into the blood stream exceeds that which is readily oxidized, it acts on thenervous system and systemic poisoning results. Labored respiration quickly occurs andrespiratory paralysis immediately follows at higher concentrations. Minute amounts ofH 2 S are lethal.Exposure may cause the following symptoms to occur individually or in combinations:headache, dizziness, excitement, nausea, coughing and drowsiness.H 2 S cannot be detected solely by smell since the gas rapidly paralyzes the sense ofsmell. H 2 S has the following characteristics:1) Extremely toxic, ranking second to hydrogen cyanide and five to six times more toxicthan carbon monoxide.2) Colorless and transparent.3) An offensive odor, which seems like rotten eggs. Though in high concentrates, it isodorless.4) Heavier than air. Vapors tend to accumulate in low places.5) Flammable and forms an explosive mixture with air.6) Has an auto-ignition point of 260°C (500°F) Note: cigarettes burn at 760°C (1400°F).7) Burns with blue flame and produces sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), which is less hazardousthan H 2 S, but irritating to the eyes and lungs and can cause serious injury. Chemicalpneumonia can develop in a few hours.8) Soluble in both water and liquid hydrocarbons and may be expelled from theproduced fluids.9) Produces irritation to the eyes, throat and respiratory system.10) The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) is a maximum of 8-hour exposure at 10 parts permillion (ppm) without respiratory equipment.Page 55 of 136
