The above safety regulations and codes form a foundational framework for hydrogen detection in battery rooms. OSHA Regulations: OSHA sets forth regulations that require employers to provide a safe working environment. Battery rooms, which can produce hydrogen gas from lead-acid batteries during charging, pose a fire and explosion risk.

The following method may be used to calculate the ventilation requirements of a battery room. 26.8Ah input to a fully charged cell will liberate 8 g of oxygen and 1 g of hydrogen. One (1) g of hydrogen occupies a volume of 12 liters at 20°C and at a pressure of one standard atmosphere. Therefore 26.8Ah input will evolve 12 liters of hydrogen.
