4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

Spilled internal cell materials
・Inhalation:

Make the victim blow his/her nose, gargle. Seek medical attention if necessary.

・Skin contact:

Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash extraneous matter or contact region with

soap and plenty of water immediately.

・Eye contact:

Do not rub one

’s eyes. Immediately flush eyes with water continuously for at least 15 minutes. Seek

medical attention immediately.

A battery cell and spilled internal cell materials
・Ingestion:

Make the victim vomit. When it is impossible or the feeling is not well after vomiting, seek medical

attention.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

・Suitable extinguishing media: Plenty of water, carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, chemical powder fire

extinguishing medium and fire foam.

・Specific hazards: Corrosive gas may be emitted during fire.
・Specific methods of fire-fighting: When the battery burns with other combustibles simultaneously, take fire-

extinguishing method which correspond to the combustibles. Extinguish a fire from the windward as much
as possible.

・Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Respiratory protection: Respiratory equipment of a gas cylinder style or protection-against-dust mask
Hand protection: Protective gloves
Eye protection: Goggle or protective glasses designed to protect against liquid splashes
Skin and body protection: Protective cloth

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Spilled internal cell materials, such as electrolyte leaked from a battery cell, are carefully dealt with

according to the followings.

・Precautions for human body:

Remove spilled materials with protective equipment (protective glasses and protective gloves). Do not

inhale the gas as much as possible. Moreover, avoid touching with as much as possible.

・Environmental precautions: Do not throw out into the environment.
・Method of cleaning up: The spilled solids are put into a container. The leaked place is wiped off with dry

cloth.

・Prevention of secondary hazards: Avoid re-scattering. Do not bring the collected materials close to fire.
