There are further obligations under Duty of Care legislation.

All types of fluorescent and discharge lamps are now classified as 'Hazardous Waste' in line with the new WEEE Directive.

In order to comply with this legislation, businesses must manage the disposal / recycling of their hazardous lamps in a responsible manner to satisfy the statutory responsibility for the health and safety of employees at work and the impact upon the environment of the business. This includes a duty of care for users of lamps and tubes to take all reasonable steps to look after this waste and prevent its illegal disposal.

Most fluorescent lamps contain potentially harmful substances - especially mercury, lead and cadmium which can be absorbed through inhalation or skin contact.

Other lamps contain sodium which reacts with water, which may be present in the air, to produce potentially explosive or flammable gases.

Injury from broken tubes - As well as the hazard of broken glass, the contents in the form of dust and chemicals must be considered as additional potential hazards.
