3.3 Health and saftey with clay

Health and Safety On Clay pot's

There are lots of issues that could go wrong with making clay pots if you are not careful:


Clay that dries out on the workshop floor and clay dust that settles on ledges and windowsills can become a serious health hazard. Always:

-Clear up spillages before they dry out

-do not dry sweep

-The floor areas in the workspace must be kept clear at all times



The main causes of injury are:

-Injured while handling, lifting or carrying


-Slipped, tripped or fell on the same level


-Hit by moving, flying or falling object

Always clean your area that you have been working in because dust can travel around and it is not good for your lungs.

Wear heat prof gloves and glasses when you are useing the Kiln as it is very hot and dangours.
