The NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) Program evaluated potential exposures at a college’s sculpture studios. Investigators recommended that managers correct safety hazards in the studios and substitute a less toxic plastics adhesive that does not contain methylene chloride. To reduce exposure to welding fumes, it was recommended that adequate outdoor and replacement air be supplied to the sculpture studios and local exhaust ventilation be installed in the metalworking studio.

Art safety: a good streaming video
Bob Grieshaber (UW-Milwaukee) brought to my attention a streaming video on art safety in higher education art studios. Kudos to the creators of the video at Yale University and the Rhode Island School of Design. It is a very good twenty minute overview of safety hazards, and is targeted directly to artists.
