Tip of the Week

Workshop OH&S
Precautions - Smoking and Drinking:
Do not smoke, drink or eat in the pottery workshop.

Precautions - Electrical appliances:
Never turn off electrical appliances with wet
hands especially in combination with water on the
floor.

Precautions - Eyes:
Wear welding goggles when looking into a
glowing kiln, otherwise eye cataracts will develop
over the years.

Fire extinguishers:
Fire extinguishers should be placed in an
accessible position near the studio. If a fire
developes in the studio and you are keeping a fire
extinguisher there, the heat may prevent you from
reaching it.
