Dozens of at-a-glance tables and charts present vital information about art materials, ingredients, technical hazards, proper protective equipment, and safe work practices simply and accurately.

A virtual lifesaver for all art and craft workers.

Book News Annotation:

This comprehensive, well-organized guide contains common sense as well as precise technical advice on managing the various toxic materials used in making art and sculpture. The third edition continues the format of earlier editions, giving an overview of OSHA regulations and how these differ from safety rules in Canada, a systemic treatment of hazards according to media, guidelines for ventilation and handling of toxic material, and generally reducing risk. Rossol, an industrial hygienist specializing in visual arts hazards, has written extensively on health and safety in the arts.
