The Sculpture Studio Safety Guide aims to ensure that students identify and apply health and safety protocols while working with materials like wire, tinfoil, and plaster. It emphasizes the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye protection, aprons, and gloves, to prevent injuries from sharp tools and materials. Key protocols include safe handling of wire cutters, proper ventilation when working with plaster, and correct disposal methods for waste. The guide also outlines emergency procedures, such as first aid for cuts and skin irritation, and encourages workspace organization to maintain a safe environment. A safety checklist is provided to reinforce good practices, and the guide concludes with a reflection prompt for students to consider the significance of these protocols while creating their artistic projects.
