Quick Tip Remind employees how to handle battery acid spills!
2021-10-14T05:00:00Z
In the event of a sulfuric acid/battery acid spill during forklift operations, employees should:
- Report the incident immediately.
- Neutralize the spill with soda ash or baking soda. Use one pound of baking soda to one gallon of water. Appropriate supplies should be near the charging area.
- Verify that the acid is neutralized by checking the pH with litmus paper or a pH meter. A neutral pH reading is between six and eight.
- Absorb neutralized material using clay or other absorbent material (such as kitty litter), if necessary. If the spill is very large, contain it with earth or clay dikes.
- Brush under the battery connectors and remove all grime. Rinse the residue from the battery with clean water.
