1.2: Safety Information

Every art making process has its own safety concerns. In 2D Design, the main issues include dust inhalation, cuts from X-acto and utility knives. Proper use of dust masks or respirators and good ventilation will minimize this exposure and help to ensure healthy conditions.

We will use a variety of tools. As needed, you should wear safety glasses, ear protection, and dust masks. If have long hair, always tie it back away from tools and equipment, always know where your hands are, what you're breathing, what's protecting your eyes and ears, and where the hot things are. Having an awareness and using logical steps toward safety will ensure a long career in art making.
