Disposal: Any itemf, which are damaged or any remains after accidental

burning should be disposed of by sinking at sea or by burial in an area

suitable for such disposition. Avoid handling such items with bare hands.Any damaged or burned, or partially burned signals must be stored in

metal fireproof cans until final disposition. Since the signal contains anexplosive charge, in addition to phosphorus, disposition by incineration

should not be attempted unless a suitable barricaded burning pit is available.
