Earring Making Workshop

Workshop Safety

As a student you are responsible for your own safety in the workshop. The most important things to remember are;

• Please listen to directions from your tutor to ensure you know how to use all the equipment safely and correctly.
• Do not operate equipment you do not know how to use.
• Covered footwear is required and absolutely no high heels.
• Tie back long hair when using motorised equipment.
• Please respect others and don’t interrupt students who are soldering, using the drill or any other equipment that could create a safety concern if the operator is distracted.
