hazardous/dangerous operations
always:
– Make sure someone is in the
studio/workshop with you or

spills.

Procedure for all equipment.
 Everyone should be properly trained by someone
who is qualified before using any equipment.
 Improperly used or maintained equipment can
be dangerous to your health or can result in
expensive damages.
