Light bulbs - protective shielding.

(1)

Except as specified in paragraph (I)(2) of this rule, light bulbs are to be shielded, coated, or otherwise shatter-resistant in areas where there is exposed food; clean equipment, utensils, or linens; or unwrapped single-service or single-use articles.

(2)

Paragraph (I)(1) of this rule does not apply in areas used only for storing food in unopened packages, if:

(a)

The integrity of the packages cannot be affected by broken glass falling onto them; and

(b)

The packages are capable of being cleaned of debris from broken bulbs before the packages are opened.

(3)

An infrared or other heat lamp is to be protected against breakage by a shield surrounding and extending beyond the bulb so that only the face of the bulb is exposed.
