METAL HALIDE LAMPS - ED17, ED28, ED37, BT28, BT37, BT56
INFORMATION AND APPLICABILITY:
WESTINGHOUSE LIGHTING CORPORATION BELIEVES THAT UNDER THE OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) HAZARDS COMMUNICATIONS STANDARD,
A LAMP (LIGHT BULB) IS EXEMPTED AS AN "ARTICLE" SO IT DOES NOT REQUIRE AN
MSDS. THE ORIGINAL OSHA STANDARD DEFINED AN ARTICLE AS SOMETHING THAT:
1) IS FORMED TO A SPECIFIC SHAPE AND DESIGN, 2) HAS END USE FUNCTIONS
DEPENDENT UPON ITS SHAPE AND DESIGN, AND 3) DOES NOT RELEASE OR OTHERWISE
RESULT IN AN EXPOSURE TO A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF
USE.
IN FEBRUARY, 1994, OSHA AMENDED THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD AND
MODIFIED PART 3 OF THE ABOVE TO READ:
3) DOES NOT RELEASE MORE THAN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES OF A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS ALSO CONTAIN
SIMILAR EXEMPTIONS FOR SUCH ARTICLES.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE NOT RELEASED DURING NORMAL USE AND OPERATION OF
THESE LAMPS.
| PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION |  |
THESE LAMPS ARE IDEAL FOR USE IN RETAIL, INDUSTRIAL, AREA LIGHTING, ACCENT
LIGHTING, SPORTS LIGHTING, SECURITY LIGHTING, ROADWAY LIGHTING AND PARKING
GARAGE APPLICATIONS.

(3) LIMITS AS NUISANCE PARTICULATE
| CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL DATA | |
NOT APPLICABLE TO INTACT LAMP.
| FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA | |
FLAMMABILITY: NON-COMBUSTIBLE
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS:
USE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURE:
USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO PREVENT INHALATION OF DUST
AND/OR FUMES THAT MAY BE GENERATED FROM BROKEN LAMPS DURING FIREFIGHTING
ACTIVITIES.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURE, TOXIC FUMES MAY BE RELEASED FROM BROKEN
LAMPS.
| REACTIVITY DATA | |
STABILITY: LAMP IS STABLE.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION PRODUCTS: WILL NOT OCCUR.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS
HEALTH CONCERNS:
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE INTACT.
NO ADVERSE EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED FROM OCCASIONAL EXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS.
AS A MATTER OF GOOD PRACTICE, AVOID PROLONGED OR FREQUENT EXPOSURE TO
BROKEN LAMPS UNLESS THERE IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION. THE MAJOR HAZARD FROM
BROKEN LAMPS IS THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING CUT BY THE BROKEN GLASS.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS BY INHALATION, INGESTION, OR
CONTACT (SKIN OR EYE):
BARIUM PEROXIDE:
MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL DUST. AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT.
LEAD:
INGESTION AND INHALATION OF LEAD DUST OR FUME MUST BE AVOIDED. IRRITATION
OF THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY OCCUR. EXCESSIVE LEAD ABSORPTION IS
TOXIC AND MAY INCLUDE SYMPTOMS SUCH AS ANEMIA, WEAKNESS, ABDOMINAL PAIN,
AND KIDNEY DISEASE.
MERCURY:
EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPORS FOR BRIEF PERIODS CAN CAUSE ACUTE
SYMPTOMS SUCH AS PNEUMONITIS, CHEST PAINS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, COUGHING,
GINGIVITIS, SALIVATION AND POSSIBLE STOMATITIS. MAY CAUSE REDNESS AND
IRRITATION AS A RESULT OF CONTACT WITH SKIN AND/OR EYES.
QUARTZ FUSED:
FIBROSIS OF THE LUNGS CAUSING SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND COUGHING HAS BEEN
ASSOCIATED WITH SILICA EXPOSURE.
SODIUM:
SKIN CONTACT CAN CAUSE THERMAL AND/OR ALKALI BURNS. FUMES FROM BURNING
SODIUM ARE HIGHLY IRRITATING TO SKIN, EYES AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
GLASS:
GLASS DUST IS CONSIDERED TO BE PHYSIOLOGICALLY INERT AND AS SUCH HAS AN
OSHA EXPOSURE LIMIT OF 15 MG/CUBIC METER FOR TOTAL DUST AND 5 MG/CUBIC
METER FOR RESPIRABLE DUST.
YTTRIUM VANADATE:
INHALATION OF VANADIUM COMPOUNDS CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT,
AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. EYE CONTACT AND PROLONGED, REPEATED SKIN CONTACT
MAY ALSO CAUSE IRRITATION. STUDIES OF WORKERS EXPOSED TO THIS MATERIAL
SHOWED NO EVIDENCE OF CHRONIC OR SYSTEMIC EFFECTS.
| EMERGENCY FIRST AID | |
GLASS CUTS:
PERFORM NORMAL FIRST AID PROCEDURES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS REQUIRED.
INHALATION:
IF DISCOMFORT, IRRITATION OR SYMPTOMS OF PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT DEVELOP,
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF INGESTING A LARGE QUANTITY OF MATERIAL, SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
CONTACT SKIN:
THOROUGHLY WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH MILD SOAP OR DETERGENT AND WATER AND
PREVENT FURTHER CONTACT. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.
CONTACT EYE:
WASH EYES, INCLUDING UNDER EYELIDS, IMMEDIATELY WITH COPIOUS AMOUNT OF
WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CARCINOGENIC ASSESSMENT (NTP ANNUAL REPORT. IARC MONOGRAPHS, OTHER): NONE
| PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
IF LAMPS ARE BROKEN, VENTILATE AREA WHERE BREAKAGE OCCURRED. CLEAN-UP BY
VACUUMING OR OTHER METHOD THAT AVOIDS DUST GENERATION. TAKE USUAL
PRECAUTIONS FOR COLLECTION OF BROKEN GLASS. PLACE MATERIALS IN CLOSED
CONTAINERS TO AVOID GENERATING DUST.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WASTE GENERATOR TO ENSURE PROPER
CLASSIFICATION OF WASTE PRODUCTS. TO THAT END, TCLP TESTS SHOULD BE
CONDUCTED ON ALL WASTE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, TO DETERMINE THE
ULTIMATE DISPOSITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.
| CONTROL MEASURES | |
VENTILATION:
USE ADEQUATE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE
LEVELS BELOW THE PEL OR TLV LIMITS. IF SUCH VENTILATION IS UNAVAILABLE,
USE RESPIRATORS AS SPECIFIED BELOW.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF AIRBORNE DUST CONCENTRATIONS
EXCEED THE PERTINENT PEL OR TLV LIMITS. ALL APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS SET
FORTH IN 29 CFR 1910.134 SHOULD BE MET.
EYE PROTECTION:
OSHA SPECIFIED SAFETY GLASSES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD ARE RECOMMENDED FOR
DEALING WITH BROKEN LAMPS.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
AFTER HANDLING BROKEN LAMPS, WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING, SMOKING OR
USING TOILET FACILITIES.
