3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Components
VRLA Battery
Mechanical
VRLA Batteries can be heavy. Correct manual handling techniques and/or
mechanical lifting aides (e.g. Fork Lift Truck) must be used.
mechanical lifting aides (e.g. Fork Lift Truck) must be used.
Electrical
VRLA Batteries can contain large amounts of electrical energy which can give very
high discharge currents and severe electrical shock if the terminals are short
circuited.
high discharge currents and severe electrical shock if the terminals are short
circuited.
Chemical
The VRLA Battery presents no chemical hazards during the normal operation
provided the recommendations for handling, storage, transport and usage are
observed.
observed.
VRLA Batteries emit hydrogen gas which is highly flammable and will form
explosive mixtures in air from approx 4% to 76%. This can be ignited by a spark
at any voltage, naked flames or other sources of ignition.
