When handling a deployed air bag assembly or Pyrotechnic seat belt tensioner, a face shield and rubber gloves should be worn. Vehicle interior and A/C, vent, defroster and heater ducts should be vacuumed. If sinus or throat irritation is encountered during air bag removal, exit vehicle and breathe fresh air. If skin irritation is encountered, flush effected area with cool water. If sinus, throat, skin or any other type of irritation continues, consult a physician. After handling a deployed air bag assembly or pyrotechnic seat belt tensioner, wash hands and rinse thoroughly with water.

A unit that has been deployed should be removed as described under Air Bag, Serice and Repair or Pyrotechnic Seat Belt Tensioner, Service and Repair. Prior to removing a deployed air bag assembly, place tape over air bag exhaust vents. After unit has been removed, it should be placed in a heavy duty plastic bag and sealed securely.
