Employers must consider exposure to these hazards when developing safe work practices and selecting personal protective equipment (PPE). That is where Article 320, Safety Requirements Related to Batteries and Battery Rooms comes in.
Battery locations shall conform to 480.9 (A), (B), and (C). (A) Ventilation. Provisions appropriate to the battery technology shall be made for sufficient diffusion and ventilation of gases from the battery, if present, to prevent the accumulation of an explosive mixture. (B) Live Parts. Guarding of live parts shall comply with 110.27.
Humidity is another critical factor. Ideal storage conditions should maintain humidity levels below 60% to prevent corrosion and damage. Batteries exposed to high humidity can develop rust or leaks, which are hazardous. It is also important to store batteries at a partial charge.
Where top terminal batteries are installed on tiered racks, working space in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s instructions shall be provided between the highest point on a cell and the row or ceiling above that point. (E) Egress.
