Risk of explosion/risk of fire
Highly inflammable materials in the vicinity of damaged, energized xenon bulbs may result in explosion or cause fires.
Risk of injury
UV light may be emitted when operating xenon bulbs not properly installed in the xenon headlamps. This UV light may cause damage to the eyes (conjunctivitis) and burns (sunburn) if skin is unprotected.
In both intact and faulty xenon headlamps, hot or glowing components may cause serious burn injuries if they come into contact with unprotected skin or eyes.
Glass splinters produced by the destruction of xenon bulbs may cause cut injuries to unprotected skin and unprotected eyes.
Risk of poisoning
When xenon bulbs are destroyed, serious health problems may be caused if the mercury vapors produced are inhaled or if mercury compounds or toxic salts are ingested or absorbed through the skin. Possible consequences include nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal disruptions as well as damage to the kidneys and the central nervous system. Skin and eye damage may also result.
Safety precautions/instructions
- For certain activities on xenon headlamps, special personal protective equipment must be worn. This work and the required special personal protective equipment are described in the work instructions.
- Prior to working on xenon headlamps (e.g. replacing parts, connecting test equipment, etc.), the complete lighting system must be switched off, and the xenon headlamps must be disconnected from the on-board electrical system.
- Avoid all contact with hot components.
- Wait at least 3 min after switching off xenon bulbs before touching them.
- Do not damage or destroy xenon bulbs.
- Never operate xenon bulbs unless they are properly installed in xenon headlamps with UV-absorbing headlamp lenses.
- Keep all highly inflammable materials away from the working area.
- Ensure the work place is adequately ventilated.
