UV Lamps Safety (Mercury UV Lamps Only)

UV lamps, used by the printer to cure printing materials, contain up to 40 mg of mercury. In the unlikely event of lamp breakage, avoid inhaling mercury vapor, and ventilate the room. If the lamp ruptures (breaks) during operation, leave the room and ventilate it thoroughly for about 30 minutes.

Use protective gloves to prevent contact with mercury and other lamp components. Carefully remove spilled mercury with a method that prevents the generation of mercury vapor, such as a syringe, packing tape or paper.

Place the broken lamp, mercury and contaminated materials in an air-tight, non-metallic container. Dispose of the container with the mercury UV lamp components in accordance with environmental and safety requirements.
