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.
It is a requirement to have all the documentation in place prior to authorized personnel entering a battery room to perform a specific work task on a battery system under normal operating conditions. However, it is likely the employee will need to enter the battery room to deal with a battery system that is not operating normally.
Battery room compliance can be interpreted differently depending on your battery type, amount of cells or multi-cell units in a common area, volume of electrolyte and voltage present. Although the code is specific about requirements, the local interpretation can vary depending on the end users experience or awareness.
This document provides guidance for top clearance of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, which are the most commonly used battery in cabinets. It is also made clear in 706.34 (C) that gas piping is not permitted in dedicated battery rooms. Mixture of a volatile gas in a corrosive location is a recipe for trouble.
