 7.4. Follow NFPA 654 (dusts) and 484 for metal dust for managing dust hazards.

Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

8.1. Appropriate Engineering Controls:
Do not use any light bulb in applications where humans and/or animals will be
subjected to direct long-term uncomfortable visual exposure to light emissions as
this could result in eye injury. If bulb appears damaged, remove power and then
repair or replace the product before returning it to service. If any materials are to
be processed in such a manner as to create particulates (mechanical breaking as
part of end of product life disposal and recycling), use exhaust ventilation and/or
wet working methods to minimize release of particulate to workroom air and
employee breathing
8.2. Personal Protective Equipment
8.2.1. Respiratory:
None required under normal use conditions. Appropriate local ventilation
or an air purifying respirator should be used if the articles are being
abraded or reduced in size using mechanical methods.
8.2.2. Skin Protection:
8.2.2.1. If risk of breakage is present impermeable and/or cut resistant
gloves should be worn.
8.2.2.2. Operating light bulbs are hot. Use of temperature resistant gloves
is recommended.
**Always allow sufficient time for product to cool prior to
touching.**
8.2.3. Eye/Face Protection:
Wear safety glasses with side shields to avoid chance of product getting
into unprotected eye. If service personnel need to work with a lit bulb
without light diffusers and/or filters installed, appropriate light filtering eye
wear should be used.
8.3. General Hygiene Considerations:
Workers should wash their face and hands prior to eating, drinking, or smoking.
