FRONT_2.3.1 Storage of CRTs

1. Cathode ray tubes must be enclosed when received, transported, or

otherwise moved from area to area.

If they are shipped in a carton, they must be in the original carton

or one of equivalent strength, and securely sealed to prevent

accidental opening. Also, original or equivalent packing materials

and forms must be placed inside the carton to give the CRT proper

support and protection. If CRTs are transported in a unit or piece of

equipment, the equipment must be able to contain the glass fragments

should an implosion occur.

2. CRTs should be stacked as directed on the manufacturer's carton. When

in doubt, stack with faceplate (viewing surface) down. Cartons should

not be stacked more than two high.

3. CRT storage areas must be away from the normal flow of material

handling equipment and pedestrian traffic. Also, storage areas must

be dry to ensure that cartons will not absorb moisture and collapse.
