As a professional manufacturer of industrial energy storage solutions, EverExceed is committed to the highest level of battery safety, occupational health, and environmental protection (HSE) across all applications, including UPS systems, telecom backup power, and industrial energy storage systems.

During the manufacturing, maintenance, or electrolyte handling of Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, accidental skin contact with electrolyte may occur. Immediate and correct response is essential to minimize chemical injury.

1. Emergency First Aid Procedure (Critical Response: Immediate Action Required)

The electrolyte used in Ni-Cd batteries is typically a potassium hydroxide (KOH) alkaline solution, which is highly corrosive to human tissue.

Step 1: Immediate and Continuous Flushing

Immediately flush the affected skin with large volumes of clean running water for at least 15 minutes without interruption.
This is the most critical step to dilute and remove alkaline contamination and prevent deep tissue damage.

Step 2: Remove Contaminated Materials

Carefully remove all contaminated clothing, gloves, or protective equipment while continuing rinsing to prevent secondary exposure.

Step 3: Avoid Mechanical Irritation

Do not rub or scrub the affected area, as this may increase tissue damage and worsen chemical burns.

Step 4: Mild Cleaning (After Flushing)

After thorough rinsing, gently wash the area with mild soap and clean water to remove any residual electrolyte.

2. Neutralization Handling – Industrial Safety Notice

EverExceed strongly advises that neutralization should only be performed under controlled conditions.

• For high-concentration electrolyte exposure, do NOT attempt neutralization independently, as acid-base reactions may generate heat and cause secondary thermal injury.
• For minor residual contamination after full flushing, a diluted weak acid solution (such as ~5% acetic acid solution or diluted vinegar) or boric acid solution may be used by trained personnel.
