By renewing your Membership, you confirm that you have read and are in agreement with ASP's Health and Safety Policy detailed below:

HEALTH & SAFETY AT ASP

- Everyone must comply with ASP’s Health and Safety policy and procedure.

- Everyone on site must take reasonable care for their own health & safety and consider other people’s health and safety when on site.

- There is a risk of silicosis from dust inhalation, so you must:

1. Clean up only with water and a sponge (no dry brushing). This applies for both clay and glaze cleaning.

2. When cleaning or working with glazes please use rubber gloves as some glazes are caustic

3. Buy a dust mask to use in the studio. The best respirators to use are the ones that seal around your face with replaceable cartridges rated to prevent silica dust inhalation.

4. When you are using the glaze booth or wax booth always put the fan on.

- To prevent electric shock always use dry hands when turning electrical equipment on and off.

- A bag of clay is heavy, lift properly without using your back like a crane or ask someone for help.

- Be careful when you enter the kiln shed. Some kilns can be very hot during and after firing.

- A First Aid Kit is located in the studio next to the wedging table, and in the main house.

- Report any accidents (even minor ones) to the office.
