Notes

1. Improve the safety of the sculpture studios.
Ground all machinery and power tools.
Install GFCIs in all the studios. o Inspect, maintain, and replace fraying or deteriorating electric cords.
Make sure that machines have an easily accessible stop switch.
Provide adequate clearance around power tools and
machines by delineating well-defined aisles.
Install eyewash stations in each studio that allow a 15-minute rinse.
Measure sound levels during noise-generating activities such as grinding and sawing. Depending on the intensity and duration of exposure, management may need to establish a hearing conservation program, including requiring employees to wear hearing protection.
Always use eye protection when in the proximity of power tools to protect the eyes from flying dust and chips, even if just observing tasks.
Provide and encourage use of glasses, goggles, or masks with filter lenses that have a shade number appropriate for the work being performed for protection from injurious light radiation.
Avoid the use of methylene chloride. If possible, substitute a less toxic adhesive for this compound.
Measure the exhaust airflow in the studios periodically to ensure that the ventilation system is working properly.
