SAFE HANDLING DURING VEHICLE SALVAGE/RECYCLING
USCAR
has designed a report intended to be used as a supplement to Vehicle Manufacturers'
service manuals. All new vehicles and many older vehicles are equipped with
Airbags. Safety and environmental concerns require careful consideration
and treatment of airbag system components when salvaging and recycling vehicles.
This Pamphlet
Explains How To:
• Safely deploy single- stage and two-stage Airbags inside vehicles
• Safely remove undeployed Airbags from vehicles.
• Obtain more information.
• Safely handle partially deployed, two-stage Airbags.
