Safe Studio Practices

J201 Safe Studio Practices:


  • Explanations and descriptions of possible hazardous materials are found in a binder marked "MSDS" in the faculty closet in J201.

  • Students are responsible for contributing to a safe studio environment.

  • Do not drink or eat in the studio because of possible harm of ingestion of hazardous chemicals.
    The dirty turpentine container must be recapped after use.

  • Oily and solvent laden trash must be disposed of in the red receptacle.

  • Use Spray Workable Fixatives and other spray paints outside.

  • Do not leave rubber cement and glues uncapped for extended periods of time.
  • Use the correct knife for the cutting job at hand. Keep fingers well out of the way. Always protect the table or counter on which the cutting is done.

  • Student supplies should be kept in the student locker room. Any supplies left in J201 must be labeled, stored in the proper containers, and flammable materials stored in the fire-safe cabinet.

  • See Chris Fulmer for additional materials on safety in the studio
