HEALTH AND SAFETY

Hot glass is a very exciting medium to work in however it is very hot and dirty. It is important to wear clothes that are comfortable and made from cotton (not nylon as it burns easily) We recommend a long sleeved cotton shirt and cotton trousers e.g., jeans. Pale colours will keep you cooler. With regard to footwear STRICTLY NO sandals preferably strong boots or shoes e.g., trainers/ Dr Martins. If you have long hair it must be tied back.

 

Unfortunately minor burns and cuts are just a part of life when working with glass. Serious injuries are extremely rare, however Health and Safety guidelines must be followed at all times in order to minimise the risks involved. This information must be taken into consideration when enrolling on a course. There are very few accidents, but it is good to be aware. 

 

No Alcohol. If you are on medication please report this to a tutor.  DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS, preferably water as it is easy to become dehydrated
