DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY:
Buyer and UNITED SAFETY acknowledge that the following provisions have been negotiated by them,
reflect a fair allocation of risk and such allocation is reflected in the fees payable to UNITED SAFETY
for the Warranted Units:
(A) THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
11
IP20001
(B) IN NO EVENT SHALL UNITED SAFETY’S LIABILITY, IN THE AGGREGATE, FOR DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE, TO BUYER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY EXCEED THE PRICE ACTUALLY
PAID BY BUYER FOR THE WARRANTED UNIT.
(C) IN NO EVENT SHALL UNITED SAFETY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOOD WILL, WORK STOPPAGE, OR ANY AND ALL
OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CAUSED,
WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
(D) THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN CLAUSES (B) AND (C) ABOVE SHALL APPLY EVEN IF AN
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
NOTIFICATION:
All reports, claims, or notices required by the warranty to be provided to UNITED SAFETY must be in
writing and delivered to: Attention – UNITED SAFETY Warranty Claim Department, 101 Gordon Drive,
Exton, PA 19341 or emailed to customerservice@usscgroup.com or to such other physical or email
address as UNITED SAFETY requires from time to time. Repairs being claimed for warranty must be
sent to UNITED SAFETY for prior approval and warranty acceptance before any warranty claims can
be made. Parts being claimed for warranty must be sent to UNITED SAFETY for prior approval and
warranty acceptance before any warranty claims can be made.
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION:
The owner must provide access to each alleged defective Warranted Unit so that UNITED SAFETY's
authorized representative can perform an on-site inspection. Alternatively, UNITED SAFETY may ask
the owner to ship the alleged defective Warranted Unit to UNITED SAFETY for inspection. Within 90
days of the inspection, either on-site or in the laboratory, UNITED SAFETY will render an opinion as to
whether or not the claimed failure is covered by the warranty.
MAINTENANCE:
UNITED SAFETY provides the proper maintenance instructions as well as required service intervals
with each Warranted Unit. Warranty is contingent upon documented performance of recommended
maintenance and service. All replacement parts must be purchased from UNITED SAFETY or an
authorized dealer of UNITED SAFETY, and the failure to purchase such parts from UNITED SAFETY
or an authorized dealer of UNITED SAFETY will render this warranty null and void.
DESIGN:
UNITED SAFETY reserves the right to modify parts and design specifications without notice as long as
the Warranted Unit meets general specifications, unless otherwise committed per contract. If changes
outside the specifications in effect at the time of manufacturing the Warranted Unit have to be
incorporated, UNITED SAFETY will submit such changes to Buyer for prior approval.
OTHER:
This Limited Warranty is contingent upon Buyer paying the purchase price for the Warranted Unit. This
Limited Warranty supersedes any other terms including but not limited to Buyer’s terms printed on the
back of Purchase Orders, listed on websites or other sources from buyers.

Section IV FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flammability: Non-combustible
Fire Extinguishing Materials: Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire.
Special Firefighting Procedures: 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.
Section V REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Unstable
Conditions to Avoid: None for intact
lamps Incompatibility (materials to avoid): None for
intact lamps Hazardous Decomposition Products: None
for intact lamps Hazardous Polymerization Products: Will
not occur
Section VI HEALTH HAZARDS
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM 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
sustaining glass cuts. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS BY INHALATION, INGESTION OR
CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYE.
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 possibly stomatitis. Chronic exposure may cause tremors and
neuropsychiatric problems. May cause redness and irritation as a result of contact with skin and/or eyes.
Quartz (fused silica): Exposure to crystalline silica dust may cause scarring of the lungs (Silicosis), resulting in shortness of
breath and coughing.
Inert Gases: Inert gases such as Argon, Neon and Xenon can cause asphyxia by displacing the ambient oxygen.
Some symptoms of asphyxia are headaches and dizziness.
Tin/Lead Solder: Ingestion or inhalation of dust or fumes must be avoided. Lead is toxic and cumulative, affecting the
kidneys, reproductive system, and nervous system. Symptoms of chronic overexposure include anemia, insomnia, weakness,
irritability, constipation and stomach pains. Tin is not regarded as toxic, but excessive exposure can cause fever, nausea,
stomach cramps or diarrhea.

IP20001
Section VII PROCEDURES FOR DISPOSAL OF LAMPS
If lamps are broken, ventilate area where breakage occurred. Clean up with mercury vacuum cleaner or other suitable means
that avoid dust and mercury vapor generation. Take usual precautions for collection of broken glass. Clean up requires special
care due to mercury droplet proliferation. Place materials in closed containers to avoid generating dust. It is the
responsibility of the generator to ensure proper classification of waste products. To that end, TCLP tests should be conducted
on all waste products to determine the ultimate disposition in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
regulations.
Section VIII SPECIAL HANDLING INFORMATION FOR BROKEN LAMPS
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 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 if lamps are being
broken. Hygienic Practices: After handling broken lamps, wash thoroughly before eating, smoking or using
toilet facilities.
The information herein has been compiled from sources believed to be reliable and is accurate to the best of our knowledge.
However, RGF cannot give any guarantees regarding information from other sources, and expressly does not make any
warranties, nor assumes any liability, for its use.
