Health and Safety information
Ocean Safety lithium-powered marine safety light systems have a design life of 5 years. The batteries
are hermetically sealed pressurised primary Lithium/Manganese cells, and as supplied are electrically
protected by a solid state device, and are environmentally protected by a moulded plastic housing. In
this condition the units pose no definable hazard to health.
Information on the composition and behaviour of these products is contained in the Product Safety

Product Disposal Instructions
The symbol shown here and on the product means that the product is
classed as Electrical or Electronic Equipment and should not be
disposed with other household or commercial waste at the end of its
working life.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006
(‘the
WEEE
Regulations’)
transpose
the
WEEE
Directive
(2002/96/EC) into UK law. They have been put into place to ensure
that producers fund the cost of collection, treatment, recovery and
environmentally sound disposal of WEEE, thereby minimising the
impact of such waste on the environment and reducing the amount of
waste going to landfill.
To ensure compliance with the WEEE Regulations, the Survivor
Location Light should be returned to Ocean Safety or deposited in
your nearest WEEE Designated Collection Facility, operated by your
Local Authority. From 2010, it will also be a requirement to recycle
batteries and, therefore, it is recommended that, from 1 February 2010, all batteries are deposited at
your nearest battery collection point. Please contact your Local Authority or visit the Ocean Safety
website at
www.oceansafety.com
for contact details.
